Rockwell FactoryTalk Activation Manager < 5.01 RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 189289

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Rockwell FactoryTalk Activation Manager installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 5.01. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 - Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Activation Manager and Studio 5000 Logix Designer uses the affected Wibu-Systems' products which internally use a version of libcurl that is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack if curl is configured to redirect traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy. A malicious proxy can exploit a bug in the implemented handshake to cause a buffer overflow.
 If no SOCKS5 proxy has been configured, there is no attack surface.
 (CVE-2023-38545)

 - Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Activation Manager and Studio 5000 Logix Designer uses the affected Wibu-Systems' products which contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in Wibu CodeMeter Runtime network service up to Version 7.60b that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to achieve RCE and gain full access of the host system. (CVE-2023-3935)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Rockwell FactoryTalk Activation Manager version 5.01 or later.
