Today the CISA NCCIC-ICS published three control system security
advisories for products from Rockwell and ABB (2).
Rockwell Advisory
This advisory describes
an improper access control vulnerability in the Rockwell Allen-Bradley Stratix
5950. The vulnerability was reported by Cisco (actually it appears that it is a
third-party vulnerability from Cisco that was originally reported
in May of last year). Rockwell has a new firmware version that mitigates
the vulnerability.
NCCIC-ICS reports that a relatively low-skilled attacker
could remotely exploit the vulnerability to allow an attacker to write a
modified image to the component.
NOTE: There is at least one publicly available exploit (Thrangycat) for
this vulnerability on Cisco equipment. That is not mentioned in either the
NCCIC-ICS advisory nor the Rockwell
advisory (which is not referenced in the NCCIC-ICS advisory).
Asset Suite Advisory
This advisory describes
an authorization bypass through user controlled key vulnerability in the ABB Asset
Suite. This vulnerability is self-reported. ABB has an update that mitigates
the vulnerability.
NCCIC-ICS reports that a relatively low-skilled attacker
could remotely exploit this vulnerability to allow an attacker access to
unauthorized information in the application by direct resource access.
NOTE: I briefly
described this vulnerability last month.
eSOMS Advisory
This advisory describes
13 vulnerabilities in the ABB eSOMS. These vulnerabilities are self-reported.
ABB has a new version that mitigates the vulnerabilities.
The 13 reported vulnerabilities are:
• Use of web browser cache
containing sensitive information - CVE-2019-19000;
• Improper restriction of rendered
UI layers or frames - CVE-2019-19001;
• Improper neutralization of HTTP
headers for scripting syntax - CVE-2019-19002;
• Sensitive cookie without ‘HTTPOnly’
flag - CVE-2019-19003;
• Protection mechanism failure - CVE-2019-19089;
• Sensitive cookie in HTTPS session
without ‘secure’ attribute - CVE-2019-19090
• Exposure of sensitive information
to an unauthorized actor - CVE-2019-19091;
• External control of critical
state data - CVE-2019-19092;
• Weak password requirements - CVE-2019-19093;
• SQL injection - CVE-2019-19094;
• Cross-site scripting - CVE-2019-19095;
• Cleartext storage of sensitive
information - CVE-2019-19096; and
• Inadequate encryption strength - CVE-2019-19096
NCCIC-ICS reports that a relatively low-skilled attacker could
remotely exploit the vulnerabilities to allow take over a user’s browser
session, discover session-based information, or affect the confidentiality of
sensitive information within the application.
NOTE: I also briefly
described this vulnerability last month.
