Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Expat XML parser library (aka libexpat). This open-source component is widely used in a lot of products worldwide. An attacker could cause a program to crash, use unexpected values or execute code by exploiting these use-after-free vulnerabilities.

Profinet SDK is using XML parser library Expat as reference solution for loading the XML based Profinet network configuration files (IPPNIO or TIC).



A denial of service of the HTTPS management interface of PHOENIX CONTACT FL MGUARD and TC MGUARD devices can be triggered by a larger number of unauthenticated HTTPS connections originating from different source IP’s. Configuring firewall limits for incoming connections cannot prevent the issue.



Manipulated PC Worx or Config+ files could lead to a heap buffer overflow, release of unallocated memory or a read access violation due to insufficient validation of input data.
The attacker needs to get access to an original bus configuration file (*.bcp) to be able to manipulate data inside. After manipulation the attacker needs to exchange the original file by the manipulated one on the application programming workstation.

UPDATE A: Two devices (ENERGY AXC PU, SMARTRTU AXC SG) added (24.11.2022)

Update for PLCnext Firmware containing fixes for recent vulnerability findings in Linux components and security enhancements.

PLCnext Control AXC F x152 is certified according to IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-4-2. This certification requires that all third-party components used in the firmware are regularly checked for known vulnerabilities.



ProConOS/ProConOS eCLR designed for use in closed industrial networks provide communication protocols without authentication.

Please also refer the original ICS-CERT advisory ICSA-15-013-03 published 13 January 2015.



ProConOS/ProConOS eCLR insufficiently verifies uploaded data.



The affected devices insufficiently verify uploaded data.



Phoenix Contact Classic Line industrial controllers (ILC1x0 and ILC1x1 product families as well as the AXIOLINE controllers AXC1050 and AXC3050) are developed and designed for the use in closed industrial networks. The communication protocols used for device management and configuration do not feature authentication measures.

Update A, 2022-06-21

This updated version contains additional affected products.
In addition, a new application note for classic line controllers had been published to make it easier for our customers to find out the actions how to disable the unauthorized communication ports instead of checking out each controller’s manual.
