CVSS v3 9.8
ATTENTION: Remotely exploitable/low skill level to exploit.
Vendor: Korenix
Equipment: JetNet
Vulnerabilities: Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key, Use of Hard-coded
Credentials
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following versions of JetNet, an Ethernet switch, are affected:
JetNet5018G version 1.4,
JetNet5310G version 1.4a,
JetNet5428G-2G-2FX version 1.4,
JetNet5628G-R version 1.4,

IMPACT
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker
to gain remote access to the device to run arbitrary code and perform
man-in-the-middle attacks.
MITIGATION
Korenix has produced new firmware that removes the undocumented hard-coded
credentials from supported systems. The new firmware is available for download
at:
http://www.korenix.com/upload/doc/FW_JetNet5310G_V2.0.rar (link is external)
Korenix recommends that affected users use the software support certificate
replacement feature to change certificates on affected devices.
Users can find customer support links for Korenix at:

NCCIC/ICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize the
risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. 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.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to ICS-CERT for
tracking and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
