An unauthenticated attacker with network access to port 502/TCP of the target device can cause a denial-of-service condition by sending multiple specially crafted packets. The MODBUS server does not properly release memory resources that were reserved for incomplete connection attempts by MODBUS clients. This could allow a remote attacker to generate a denial of service condition on devices that incorporate a vulnerable version of the MODBUS server.
The “legal information” plugin of web-based-management contained a vulnerability which allowed execution of arbitrary commands with privileges of www user.
UPDATE A 15.06.2023 :
The Web-Based Management (WBM) of WAGOs programmable logic controller (PLC) is typically used for administration, commissioning and updates.
The configuration backend can in some cases be used without authentication and to write data with root privileges. Additionally, the web-based management suffers a CORS misconfiguration and allows reflected XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks.
An unknown and undocumented configuration interface with limited functionality was identified on the affected devices.
A vulnerability in the web-based management (WBM) of WAGOs programmable logic controller (PLC) could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to retrieve sensitive information.
The MAC address filter as part of the firewall has a flaw, which prevents the MAC address filter to be active after restart. In this way a remote attacker is able to circumvent the MAC address filtering after a reboot of a device.
UPDATE A: Solution has updated release dates
UPDATE B: Solution has updated release dates
This Advisory is published with reference to:
The FTP server does not properly release memory resources that were reserved for incomplete connection attempts by FTP clients. This could allow a remote attacker to generate a denial of service condition on devices that incorporate a vulnerable version of the FTP server.
