Summary

This vulnerability allows an attacker who has access to the WBM to read and write settings-parameters of the device by sending specifically constructed requests without authentication on multiple WAGO PLCs in firmware versions up to FW07.

Details

nvd.nist.gov 

Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker who has access to the WBM and knowledge about the directory structure of the WBM to read and/or write a settings-parameter of the devices by sending specifically constructed requests without authentication.
This can lead to malfunction of the application after reboot.

Solution

Update the device to the latest FW version.

Mitigation

  • Restrict network access to the device.
  • Do not directly connect the device to the internet.
  • Disable unused TCP/UDP ports.
  • Disable web-based management ports 80/443 after the configuration phase
