The kernel in ENEA OSE on the Emerson Process Management ROC800 RTU with software 3.50 and earlier, DL8000 RTU with software 2.30 and earlier, and ROC800L RTU with software 1.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by connecting to the debug service.
The TFTP server on the Emerson Process Management ROC800 RTU with software 3.50 and earlier, DL8000 RTU with software 2.30 and earlier, and ROC800L RTU with software 1.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to upload files and consequently execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
The kernel in ENEA OSE on the Emerson Process Management ROC800 RTU with software 3.50 and earlier, DL8000 RTU with software 2.30 and earlier, and ROC800L RTU with software 1.20 and earlier performs network-beacon broadcasts, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about device presence by listening for broadcast traffic.
Emerson Process Management ROC800 RTU with software 3.50 and earlier, DL8000 RTU with software 2.30 and earlier, and ROC800L RTU with software 1.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a TCP replay attack.
There is a flaw in the code used to configure the internal gateway firewall when the gateway's VLAN feature is enabled. If a user enables the VLAN setting, the internal gateway firewall becomes disabled resulting in exposure of all ports used by the gateway.
Emerson DeltaV Smart Switch Command Center application, available in versions 11.3.x and 12.3.1, was unable to change the DeltaV Smart Switches’ management password upon commissioning. Emerson released patches for DeltaV workstations to address this issue, and the patches can be downloaded from Emerson’s Guardian Support Portal. Please refer to the DeltaV Security Notification DSN19003 (KBA NK-1900-0808) for more information about this issue. DeltaV versions 13.3 and higher use the Network Device Command Center application to manage DeltaV Smart Switches, and this newer application is not impacted by this issue. After patching the Smart Switch Command Center, users are required to either commission the DeltaV Smart Switches or change password using the tool.
Emerson OpenEnterprise versions through 3.3.4 may allow an attacker to run an arbitrary commands with system privileges or perform remote code execution via a specific communication service.
In Emerson Rosemount GC370XA, GC700XA, and GC1500XA products, an authenticated user with network access could run arbitrary commands from a remote computer.
In Emerson Rosemount GC370XA, GC700XA, and GC1500XA products, an unauthenticated user with network access could execute arbitrary commands in root context from a remote computer.
Emerson AMS Device Manager v12.0 to v13.5. A specially crafted script may be run that allows arbitrary remote code execution.
A Heap-based Buffer Overflow was found in Emerson OpenEnterprise SCADA Server 2.83 (if Modbus or ROC Interfaces have been installed and are in use) and all versions of OpenEnterprise 3.1 through 3.3.3, where a specially crafted script could execute code on the OpenEnterprise Server.
An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered in Emerson Liebert SiteScan Web Version 6.5, and prior. An attacker may enter malicious input to Liebert SiteScan through a weakly configured XML parser causing the application to execute arbitrary code or disclose file contents from a server or connected network.
Emerson XWEB 300D EVO 3.0.7--3ee403 is affected by: unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion due to path traversal. An attacker can browse and delete files without any authentication due to incorrect access control and directory traversal.
UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED Emerson Dixell XWEB-500 products are affected by arbitrary file write vulnerability in /cgi-bin/logoextraupload.cgi, /cgi-bin/calsave.cgi, and /cgi-bin/loutils.cgi. An attacker will be able to write any file on the target system without any kind of authentication mechanism, and this can lead to denial of service and potentially remote code execution. Note: the product has not been supported since 2018 and should be removed or replaced.
A vulnerability has been found in multiple revisions of Emerson Rosemount X-STREAM Gas Analyzer. The webserver of the affected products allows unvalidated files to be uploaded, which an attacker could utilize to execute arbitrary code.
The Emerson ROC and FloBoss RTU product lines through 2022-05-02 perform insecure filesystem operations. They utilize the ROC protocol (4000/TCP, 5000/TCP) for communications between a master terminal and RTUs. Opcode 203 of this protocol allows a master terminal to transfer files to and from the flash filesystem and carrying out arbitrary file and directory read, write, and delete operations.
Emerson OpenBSI through 2022-04-29 mishandles credential storage. It is an engineering environment for the ControlWave and Bristol Babcock line of RTUs. This environment provides access control functionality through user authentication and privilege management. The credentials for various users are stored insecurely in the SecUsers.ini file by using a simple string transformation rather than a cryptographic mechanism.
Emerson ValveLink Products store sensitive information in cleartext in memory. The sensitive memory might be saved to disk, stored in a core dump, or remain uncleared if the product crashes, or if the programmer does not properly clear the memory before freeing it.
ROC800-Series RTU devices are vulnerable to an authentication bypass, which could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to data or control of the device and cause a denial-of-service condition.
In Emerson Rosemount GC370XA, GC700XA, and GC1500XA products, an unauthenticated user with network access could obtain access to sensitive information or cause a denial-of-service condition.
The Emerson ControlWave 'Next Generation' RTUs through 2022-05-02 mishandle firmware integrity. They utilize the BSAP-IP protocol to transmit firmware updates. Firmware updates are supplied as CAB archive files containing a binary firmware image. In all cases, firmware images were found to have no authentication (in the form of firmware signing) and only relied on insecure checksums for regular integrity checks.
The Emerson Process Management ROC800 RTU with software 3.50 and earlier, DL8000 RTU with software 2.30 and earlier, and ROC800L RTU with software 1.20 and earlier have hardcoded credentials in a ROM, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain shell access to the underlying OS by leveraging knowledge of the ROM contents from a product installation elsewhere.
Emerson Smart Wireless Gateway 1420 4.6.59 allows non-privileged users (such as the default account 'maint') to perform administrative tasks by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the application.
In Emerson Ovation OCR400 Controller 3.3.1 and earlier, a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the embedded third-party FTP server involves improper handling of a long command to the FTP service, which may cause memory corruption that halts the controller or leads to remote code execution and escalation of privileges.
DeltaV Versions 11.3.1, 12.3.1, 13.3.0, 13.3.1, and R5 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow exploit through an open communication port to allow arbitrary code execution.
DeltaV Versions 11.3.1, 12.3.1, 13.3.0, 13.3.1, and R5 is vulnerable due to improper path validation which may allow an attacker to replace executable files.
The affected product is vulnerable to a unsanitized extract folder for system configuration. A low-privileged user can leverage this logic to overwrite the settings and other key functionality.
The affected product is vulnerable to a parameter injection via passphrase, which enables the attacker to supply uncontrolled input.
The affected product is vulnerable to a missing permission validation on system backup restore, which could lead to account take over and unapproved settings change.
The affected product is vulnerable to directory traversal due to mishandling of provided backup folder structure.
