Public ICS Disclosures – Week of 5-9-20

This week we have five vendor disclosures for products from Schneider (4) and Rockwell as well as six vendor updates from Schneider (5) and Siemens. We also have two researcher reports of vulnerabilities in products from Advantech.

Schneider Advisories

Schneider published an advisory describing a weak password requirement vulnerability in their Pro-face GP-Pro EX Programming Software product. The vulnerability was reported by Kirill Kruglov of Kaspersky Labs. Schneider has a new version that mitigates the vulnerability. There is no indication that Krublov has been provided an opportunity to verify the efficacy of the fix.

Schneider published an advisory describing a use of hard-coded credentials vulnerability in their Vijeo Designer Basic and Vijeo Designer software products. The vulnerability was reported by Jie Chen of NSFOCUS. Schneider has a HotFix available to mitigate the vulnerability. There is no indication that Jie has been provided an opportunity to verify the efficacy of the fix.

Schneider published an advisory describing two vulnerabilities in their U.motion servers and touch panel products. The vulnerabilities were reported by Rgod and Zhu Jiaqi. Schneider has a new version that mitigates the vulnerabilities. There is no indication that the researchers have been provided an opportunity to verify the efficacy of the fix.

The two reported vulnerabilities are:

• Improper access control - CVE-2020-7499, and

• SQL injection - CVE-2020-7500

Schneider published an advisory describing five vulnerabilities in their EcoStruxure™ Operator Terminal Expert product. The vulnerabilities were reported by Steven Seeley and Chris Anastasio of Incite Team, Sharon Brizinov and Amir Preminger of Claroty Research via the Zero Day Initiative (see here, here, and here), and Fredrik Østrem, Emil Sandstø, and Cim Stordal of Cognite. Schneider has a new version that mitigates four of the five vulnerabilities. There is no indication that the researchers have been provided an opportunity to verify the efficacy of the fix.

The five reported vulnerabilities are:

• SQL command injection - CVE-2020-7493,

• Path traversal (3) - CVE-2020-7494, CVE-2020-7495, and CVE-2020-7497, and

• Argument injection or modification - CVE-2020-7496

Rockwell Advisory

Rockwell published an advisory describing five vulnerabilities in multiple Rockwell Automation software products. These are third-party vulnerabilities from OSIsoft components used in the Rockwell products. These vulnerabilities are self-identified. Rockwell provides workarounds to mitigate the vulnerabilities.

The five reported vulnerabilities are:

• Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path element - CVE-2020-10610,

• Local privilege escalation via improper verification of cryptographic key - CVE-2020-10608,

• Local privilege escalation via incorrect default permissions - CVE-2020-10606,

• Null pointer dereference - CVE-2020-10600, and

• Use of out-of-range pointer offset may lead to remote code execution - CVE-2020-10645

NOTE: These are five of the ten vulnerabilities in the OSIsoft PI System that were reported by NCCIC-ICS earlier this week. The fact that this Rockwell Advisory was published on the same day as the NCCIC-ICS advisory indicates that there was pre-disclosure coordination between OSIsoft and Rockwell, good show.

Advantech Advisories

The Zero Day Initiative published advisories (see links below) describing two vulnerabilities in Advantech WebAccess Node. ZDI published the two advisories as 0-day notifications under their 120-day response rule. NCCIC-ICS was reported involved in the coordination of these vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities were reported by Z0mb1E.

The two reported vulnerabilities are:

• DATACORE Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability - ZDI-20-654, and

• Incorrect Permission Assignment Privilege Escalation Vulnerability - ZDI-20-655
