Public ICS Disclosures – Week of 01-19-19

This week we have vendor notifications from Bosch, AVEVA, Drager, Yokogawa and BD. We also have an exploit of a previously disclosed set of vulnerabilities for products from NUUO.

Bosch Advisory

Bosch has published an advisory for two vulnerabilities in their DIVAR 400 & 600 digital recorders. The vulnerabilities were reported by Maxim Rupp. Bosch has provided generic workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability. There is no indication that Rupp has been provided an opportunity to verify the efficacy of the fix.

The two reported vulnerabilities are:

• Improper access control; and

• Unprotected credentials

AVEVA Advisory

AVEVA has published an advisory for three vulnerabilities in their Wonderware System Platform. The vulnerabilities were reported by Vladimir Dashchennko from Kaspersky Lab. AVEVA has a new update that mitigates the vulnerabilities. There is no indication that Daschennko has been provided an opportunity to verify the efficacy of the fix.

The three reported vulnerabilities are:

• Insufficiently protected credentials;

• Execution with unnecessary privilege; and

• Missing authorization

These vulnerabilities were coordinated through ‘ICS-CERT’ so I expect that we will see an advisory from NCCIC-ICS next week (though they may have a backlog to work through now that the Federal Funding Fiasco is at least temporarily over).

Drager Advisory

Drager published an advisory that is not technically for a control system vulnerability. They are advising customers of a number of reported fraudulent emails from apparent Drager email addresses that have been part of schemes to have companies make payments to non-Drager accounts.

Yokogawa Advisory

Yokogawa has published an advisory for an access control vulnerability in their License Manager Service. The vulnerability was reported by Kaspersky Lab. Yokogawa has patches that mitigate the vulnerability. There is no indication that Kaspersky Lab has been provided an opportunity to verify the efficacy of the fix.

BD Advisory

BD has published an advisory  (actually an update for an advisory that was issued last summer) for a Microsoft Windows vulnerability in the task scheduler that affects a number of BD products. BD will patch the software during the next patch cycle.

NUOO Exploit

Pedro Ribeiro published a set of exploits for the NUOO CMS software management platform. The vulnerabilities were reported by NCCIC-ICS in an advisory published on October 12^th, 2018 and updated on November 20^th, 2018. Ribeiro was the one who originally reported the NUOO vulnerabilities to NCCIC-ICS.

In addition to publishing four Metasploit modules as part of his exploit report, Ribeiro reports that one of the vulnerabilities reported through NCCIC-ICS (Use of hard-coded credentials - CVE-2018-17894) has not actually been fixed as was reported in the NCCIC-ICS advisory.

Reading the exploit report from Ribeiro provides an interesting look into the coordinated disclosure process where the vendor is less than cooperative. Pedro has all sorts of nice things to say about the folks he worked with at ‘ICS-CERT’ during the two-year process but suffice to say he is disappointed with NUOO.
