Details

cert.vde.com 

Impact

Exploiting the vulnerability provides arbitrary command execution with privileges of the 'www' user. Via this flaw an attacker can change device configuration, create users or even take over the system.

Solution

Mitigation

As general security measures strongly WAGO recommends:

  1. Use general security best practices to protect systems from local and network attacks.
  2. Do not allow direct access to the device from untrusted networks.
  3. Update to the latest firmware according to the table in chapter solutions.
  4. Industrial control systems (ICS) should not be directly accessible from the Internet, but should be protected by consistently applying the defense-in-depth strategy.

The BSI provides general information on securing ICS in the ICS Compendium (https://www.bsi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/EN/BSI/ICS/ICS-Security_compendium.pdf).
