Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to brute force passwords, access certain device files, or cause a denial-of-service condition.
The following version of SNAP PAC S1, an industrial programmable automation controller, is affected:
3.2.1 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF EXCESSIVE AUTHENTICATION ATTEMPTS CWE-307
There is no limit on the number of login attempts. This could allow a brute force attack on the built-in web server login.
CVE-2023-40706 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
3.2.2 WEAK PASSWORD REQUIREMENTS CWE-521
There are no requirements for setting a complex password, which could allow a successful brute force attack if users don’t setup complex credentials.
CVE-2023-40707 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
3.2.3 IMPROPER ACCESS CONTROL CWE-284
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) port is open by default. This could allow an adversary to access some device files.
CVE-2023-40708 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.3 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
3.2.4 UNCONTROLLED RESOURCE CONSUMPTION CWE-400
An adversary could crash the entire device by sending large quantity of ICMP requests if the controller has the built-in web server enabled but not completely set-up and configured.
CVE-2023-40709 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.9 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
3.2.5 UNCONTROLLED RESOURCE CONSUMPTION CWE-400
An adversary could cause a continuous restart loop to the entire device by sending large quantity of HTTP GET requests if the controller has the built-in web server enabled but does not have the built-in web server completely set-up and configured.
CVE-2023-40710 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.9 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
