3S CODESYS Runtime 3.x < 3.5.14.0 Insufficient Access Control Vulnerability

critical Nessus Plugin ID 120947

Language:

Synopsis

A programmable logic controller (PLC) runtime on the remote host is affected by authentication bypass and unencrypted communications vulnerabilities.

Description

The 3S CODESYS Runtime environment running on the remote host is affected by authentication bypass and unencrypted communications vulnerabilities due missing security controls. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to take control of the affected host.

Note: Nessus checked the version to determine if user authentication and encryption could be enabled. It did not verify the user authentication and encryption security controls were enabled.

Solution

Upgrade 3S CODESYS Runtime to version 3.5.14.0 or higher. If upgrading to 3.5.14.0, enable user authentication and encryption. If upgrading to 3.5.15.0 and later, no additional action is required.
