1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
o CVSS v3 8.0
o ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/Low skill level to exploit/Public exploits
are available
o Vendor: WAGO
o Equipment: e!DISPLAY Web-Based-Management (WBM)
o Vulnerabilities: Cross-site Scripting, Unrestricted Upload of File with
Dangerous Type, and Incorrect Permissions for Critical Resource
2. RISK EVALUATION
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to
execute code in the context of the user, execute code within the user's
browser, place malicious files within the filesystem, and replace existing
files to allow privilege escalation.
3. TECHNICAL DETAILS
3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following versions of WAGO e!DISPLAY, an HMI, running firmware FW 01 are
affected:
o 762-3000,
o 762-3001,
o 762-3002, and
o 762-3003
3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF INPUT DURING WEB PAGE GENERATION
('CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING') CWE-79
Authenticated and unauthenticated users can send specially crafted requests to
the web server, which allows code injection within the WBM. The code will be
rendered and/or executed within the user's browser.
CVE-2018-12981 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
8.0 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H
/I:H/A:H).
3.2.2 UNRESTRICTED UPLOAD OF FILE WITH DANGEROUS TYPE CWE-434
This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to upload arbitrary files to
the file system with the permissions of the web server.
CVE-2018-12980 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
8.0 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H
/I:H/A:H).
3.2.3 INCORRECT PERMISSION FOR CRITICAL RESOURCE CWE-732
Weak permissions allow an authenticated user to overwrite critical files by
abusing the unrestricted file upload in the WBM.
CVE-2018-12979 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H
/I:H/A:H).
3.3 BACKGROUND
o CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Commercial Facilities, Critical
Manufacturing, Energy, and Transportation Systems
o COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide
o COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Germany
3.4 RESEARCHER
T. Weber of SEC Consult reported these vulnerabilities to CERT@VDE, who
reported them to NCCIC.
4. MITIGATIONS
WAGO recommends affected users update to the latest firmware (FW 02). Contact
WAGO support for update files and specific instructions.
WAGO also recommends the following mitigations:
o Update the device to the latest firmware.
o Restrict network access to the device.
o Do not directly connect the device to the Internet.
o Restrict the number of users with access to the device to a minimum.
o Change the default passwords of devices.
o Do not install software from untrusted sources.
o Do not open websites or follow links from untrusted sources.
WAGO has published a security advisory that can be viewed here:
https://www.wago.com/medias/SA-WBM-2018-004.pdf
NCCIC recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
o Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and
isolate them from the business network.
o 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.
NCCIC reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
NCCIC 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
on the ICS-CERT website in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to NCCIC for tracking
and correlation against other incidents.
NCCIC also recommends that users take the following measures to protect
themselves from social engineering attacks:
o Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on
avoiding email scams.
o Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more
information on social engineering attacks.
