A sensitive information disclosure security issue exists within the affected CompactLogix controllers. The controller's web server exposes CIP Connection IDs on the diagnostics webpage, which are accessible to any unauthenticated user on the network. This information can be leveraged by an attacker to construct malicious packets, leading to Denial-of-Service.
A malformed Class 3 common industrial protocol message with a cached connection can cause a denial-of-service condition in Rockwell Automation Logix Controllers, resulting in a major nonrecoverable fault. If the target device becomes unavailable, a user would have to clear the fault and redownload the user project file to bring the device back online.
