Summary
PHOENIX CONTACT: DoS for PLCnext Control devices in versions <2021.0.5 LTS
Notes
Summary: A device on the same network as the controller sending a special crafted JSON request to the /auth/access-token endpoint may cause the controller to restart (CWE-20). UPDATE A The CVSS score has been raised from 7.7 (CVSS:3.0:AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H) to 9.1 (CVSS:3.0:AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)
Impact: An attacker could potentially script this request and create a denial of service attack condition.
Mitigation: Phoenix Contact recommends operating network-capable devices in closed networks or protected with a suitable firewall. For detailed information on our recommendations for measures to protect network-capable devices, please refer to our application note: Measures to protect network-capable devices with Ethernet connection
Remediation: Phoenix Contact recommends affected users to upgrade to the current Firmware 2021.0.5 LTS or higher which fixes this vulnerability. | Article no | Article | |------------|--------------------------------| | 1151412 | AXC F 1152 | | 2404267 | AXC F 2152 | | 1069208 | AXC F 3152 | | 1051328 | RFC 4072S | | 1046568 | AXC F 2152 Starterkit | | 1188165 | PLCnext Technology Starterkit |
