ATTENTION: Remotely exploitable/low skill level to exploit.
Vendor: CyberVision
Equipment: Kaa IoT Platform
Vulnerability: Code Injection
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following version of Kaa IoT Platform, a middleware platform,
is affected:
Kaa IoT Platform, Version 0.7.4, and possibly other versions.
IMPACT
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for the creation
of files with custom content, movement of files, and execution of arbitrary
OS commands.
MITIGATION
CyberVision's Kaa Project has been unresponsive to multiple contact
requests and has produced no mitigations for this vulnerability.
NCCIC/ICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize
the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and
isolate them from the business network.
When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should
be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize that VPN
is only as secure as the connected devices.
ICS-CERT reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
ICS-CERT also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are
available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control
Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are
publicly available in the ICS-CERT Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies, that is available for download from the ICS-CERT web site.
No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability.
