Descriptions

Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Machine Edition on the PanelView Plus, improperly verifies user’s input, which allows unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code executed via crafted malicious packets.  The device has the functionality, through a CIP class, to execute exported functions from libraries.  There is a routine that restricts it to execute specific functions from two dynamic link library files.  By using a CIP class, an attacker can upload a self-made library to the device which allows the attacker to bypass the security check and execute any code written in the function.

Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Machine Edition en PanelView Plus verifica incorrectamente la entrada del usuario, lo que permite a un atacante no autenticado lograr la ejecución remota de código a través de paquetes maliciosos manipulados. El dispositivo tiene la funcionalidad, a través de una clase CIP, de ejecutar funciones exportadas desde librería. Existe una rutina que lo restringe a ejecutar funciones específicas desde dos archivos de librería de enlaces dinámicos. Al utilizar una clase CIP, un atacante puede cargar una biblioteca de creación propia en el dispositivo que le permite eludir el control de seguridad y ejecutar cualquier código escrito en la función.
