Vulnerabilidades de Phoenix Contact

A reboot of the charging controller can be triggered via Modbus TCP without authentication. Therefore, when the Modbus functionality is enabled by opening the port that CharxModbusServer is listening, an unauthenticated attacker can perform a Denial-of-Service attack.

A privilege escalation vulnerability in the init-script for user-applications allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary commands as root, resulting in full system compromise.

A privilege escalation vulnerability in the system configuration allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary commands as root, resulting in full system compromise.

This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker with control over the OCPP backend via firewall-bypass to perform an OS command injection, resulting in the execution of arbitrary commands as the limited user charx-oa. Charging could be interrupted.

A low-privileged remote attacker with "operator" access can upload arbitrary files via the REST endpoint intended for firmware updates, resulting in persistent storage of attacker-controlled files and potentially exhausting resources, which might lead to Denial-of-Service.

A privilege escalation vulnerability in udhcpc allows a local user "charx-web" to execute arbitrary commands as root, resulting in full system compromise.

A privilege escalation vulnerability in a script used for network configuration allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary commands as root, resulting in full system compromise.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can enforce the system to fall back to a firmware partition with an insecure configuration including default credentials. This could allow the attacker to gain SSH access to the system as an unprivileged user "user-app". Charging could be interrupted.

A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the init-script for user-applications allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary commands as root, resulting in full system compromise.

It is possible for an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to download log files of the controller, which may disclose some restricted information.

A local user with low privileges may be able to influence the behavior of a privileged system service by manipulating configuration or application-related files located in user-writable areas of the filesystem. The affected service processes data from locations that are not sufficiently protected against modification by low-privileged users. As the service runs with elevated privileges, successful exploitation may result in a local privilege escalation.

The Web-based Management allows a remote low privileged Engineer user to install additional APPs on the device downloaded from the PLCnext Store without implementing any data verification mechanism, leading to the capability for an Engineer user to reach arbitrary code execution with root privileges on the PLC device. A successful exploitation may allow to install a manipulated APP package, potentially impacting integrity and availability of the PLCnext Control.

A low privileged remote attacker can gain the root password due to improper removal of sensitive information before storage or transfer.

A CSRF vulnerability in the Link Aggregation configuration interface allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trick authenticated users into sending unauthorized POST requests to the device by luring them to a malicious webpage. This can silently alter the device’s configuration without the victim’s knowledge or consent. Availability impact was set to low because after a successful attack the device will automatically recover without external intervention.

A stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Link Aggregation configuration interface allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a trunk entry containing malicious HTML/JavaScript code. When the affected page is viewed, the injected script executes in the context of the victim’s browser, enabling unauthorized actions such as interface manipulation. The session cookie is secured by the httpOnly Flag. Therefore an attacker is not able to take over the session of an authenticated user.
