Weakness

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')  (CWE-79) 

Summary

WAGO 750-88X and WAGO 750-89X Ethernet Controller devices, versions 01.09.18(13) and before, have XSS in the SNMP configuration via the webserv/cplcfg/snmp.ssi SNMP_DESC or SNMP_LOC_SNMP_CONT field.


Impact

An attacker needs an authorized login on the device in order to exploit the snmp configuration website with malicious scripts. This can be used to install malicious code and to gain access to confidential information.

Solution

Remediation

Update the devices to the following versions:

750-831/xxx-xxx >= FW14
750-852 >= FW14
750-880/xxx-xxx >= FW14
750-881 >= FW14
750-889 >= FW14

Mitigation
