Buffer overflow in SGI Omron WorldView Wnn allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via long JSOPEN, JSMKDIR, or JSFILEINFO commands.
Omron CX-One CX-Programmer before 9.6, CJ2M PLC devices before 2.1, and CJ2H PLC devices before 1.5 rely on cleartext password transmission, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network during a PLC unlock request.
In Omron PLC CJ series, all versions and Omron PLC CS series, all versions, an attacker could spoof arbitrary messages or execute commands.
Omron’s CS and CJ series PLCs have an unrestricted externally accessible lock vulnerability.
In Omron PLC CS series, all versions, Omron PLC CJ series, all versions, and Omron PLC NJ series, all versions, the software does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within in a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.
OMRON NS devices 1.1 through 1.3 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication via a direct request to the .html file for a specific screen, as demonstrated by monitor.html.
The Omron SYSMAC Nx product family PLCs (NJ series, NY series, NX series, and PMAC series) through 2022-005-18 lack cryptographic authentication. These PLCs are programmed using the SYMAC Studio engineering software (which compiles IEC 61131-3 conformant POU code to native machine code for execution by the PLC's runtime). The resulting machine code is executed by a runtime, typically controlled by a real-time operating system. The logic that is downloaded to the PLC does not seem to be cryptographically authenticated, allowing an attacker to manipulate transmitted object code to the PLC and execute arbitrary machine code on the processor of the PLC's CPU module in the context of the runtime. In the case of at least the NJ series, an RTOS and hardware combination is used that would potentially allow for memory protection and privilege separation and thus limit the impact of code execution. However, it was not confirmed whether these sufficiently segment the runtime from the rest of the RTOS.
The Omron SYSMAC Cx product family PLCs (CS series, CJ series, and CP series) through 2022-05-18 lack cryptographic authentication. They utilize the Omron FINS (9600/TCP) protocol for engineering purposes, including downloading projects and control logic to the PLC. This protocol has authentication flaws as reported in FSCT-2022-0057. Control logic is downloaded to PLC volatile memory using the FINS Program Area Read and Program Area Write commands or to non-volatile memory using other commands from where it can be loaded into volatile memory for execution. The logic that is loaded into and executed from the user program area exists in compiled object code form. Upon execution, these object codes are first passed to a dedicated ASIC that determines whether the object code is to be executed by the ASIC or the microprocessor. In the former case, the object code is interpreted by the ASIC whereas in the latter case the object code is passed to the microprocessor for object code interpretation by a ROM interpreter. In the abnormal case where the object code cannot be handled by either, an abnormal condition is triggered and the PLC is halted. The logic that is downloaded to the PLC does not seem to be cryptographically authenticated, thus allowing an attacker to manipulate transmitted object code to the PLC and either execute arbitrary object code commands on the ASIC or on the microprocessor interpreter.
OMRON CX-Programmer 9.78 and prior is vulnerable to an Out-of-Bounds Write, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

OMRON CX-Programmer 9.78 and prior is vulnerable to an Out-of-Bounds Write, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Active debug code exists in OMRON CP1L-EL20DR-D all versions, which may lead to a command that is not specified in FINS protocol being executed without authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker may read/write in arbitrary area of the device memory, which may lead to overwriting the firmware, causing a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, and/or arbitrary code execution.
FINS (Factory Interface Network Service) is a message communication protocol, which is designed to be used in closed FA (Factory Automation) networks, and is used in FA networks composed of OMRON products. Multiple OMRON products that implement FINS protocol contain following security issues -- (1)Plaintext communication, and (2)No authentication required. When FINS messages are intercepted, the contents may be retrieved. When arbitrary FINS messages are injected, any commands may be executed on, or the system information may be retrieved from, the affected device. Affected products and versions are as follows: SYSMAC CS-series CPU Units, all versions, SYSMAC CJ-series CPU Units, all versions, SYSMAC CP-series CPU Units, all versions, SYSMAC NJ-series CPU Units, all versions, SYSMAC NX1P-series CPU Units, all versions, SYSMAC NX102-series CPU Units, all versions, and SYSMAC NX7 Database Connection CPU Units (Ver.1.16 or later)
Use of hard-coded credentials vulnerability exists in Machine automation controller NJ series all models V 1.48 and earlier, Machine automation controller NX7 series all models V1.28 and earlier, Machine automation controller NX1 series all models V1.48 and earlier, Automation software 'Sysmac Studio' all models V1.49 and earlier, and Programmable Terminal (PT) NA series NA5-15W/NA5-12W/NA5-9W/NA5-7W models Runtime V1.15 and earlier, which may allow a remote attacker who successfully obtained the user credentials by analyzing the affected product to access the controller.
The Omron FINS protocol has an authenticated feature to prevent access to memory regions. Authentication is susceptible to bruteforce attack, which may allow an adversary to gain access to protected memory. This access can allow overwrite of values including programmed logic.
Omron CJ1M unit v4.0 and prior has improper access controls on the memory region where the UM password is stored. If an adversary issues a PROGRAM AREA WRITE command to a specific memory region, they could overwrite the password. This may lead to disabling UM protections or setting a non-ASCII password (non-keyboard characters) and preventing an engineer from viewing or modifying the user program.
The Omron CX-One Version 4.60 and prior is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
The Omron CX-One Version 4.60 and prior may allow an attacker to supply a pointer to arbitrary memory locations, which may allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OMRON CX-Supervisor. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within Teamviewer that is installed with Omron CX-Supervisor. The issue results from the use of an outdated version of Teamviewer containing known vulnerabilities. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.

In Omron CX-Supervisor, Versions 3.5 (12) and prior, Omron CX-Supervisor ships with Teamviewer Version 5.0.8703 QS. This version of Teamviewer is vulnerable to an obsolete function vulnerability requiring user interaction to exploit.
CX-Supervisor (Versions 3.42 and prior) can execute code that has been injected into a project file. An attacker could exploit this to execute code under the privileges of the application.
Several use after free vulnerabilities have been identified in CX-Supervisor (Versions 3.42 and prior). When processing project files, the application fails to check if it is referencing freed memory. An attacker could use a specially crafted project file to exploit and execute code under the privileges of the application.
An attacker with network access to the affected PLC (CJ-series and CS-series PLCs, all versions) may use a network protocol to read and write files on the PLC internal memory and memory card.
Authentication bypass by capture-replay vulnerability exists in Machine automation controller NX7 series all models V1.28 and earlier, Machine automation controller NX1 series all models V1.48 and earlier, and Machine automation controller NJ series all models V 1.48 and earlier, which may allow an adjacent attacker who can analyze the communication between the controller and the specific software used by OMRON internally to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition or execute a malicious program.
In Omron PLC CJ series, all versions, and Omron PLC CS series, all versions, an attacker could monitor traffic between the PLC and the controller and replay requests that could result in the opening and closing of industrial valves.

Sysmac Studio installs executables in a directory with poor permissions. This can allow a locally-authenticated attacker to overwrite files which will result in code execution with privileges of a different user.
Project files may contain malicious contents which the software will use to create files on the filesystem. This allows directory traversal and overwriting files with the privileges of the logged-in user.
Out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in CX-Programmer included in CX-One CXONE-AL[][]D-V4 Ver. 9.81 or lower. Opening a specially crafted project file may lead to information disclosure and/or the product being crashed.
