CVE-2024-6098 (GCVE-0-2024-6098)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-08-16 14:57 – Updated: 2024-08-19 17:32

Title

PTC Kepware ThingWorx Kepware Server Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Summary

When performing an online tag generation to devices which communicate using the ControlLogix protocol, a machine-in-the-middle, or a device that is not configured correctly, could deliver a response leading to unrestricted or unregulated resource allocation. This could cause a denial-of-service condition and crash the Kepware application. By default, these functions are turned off, yet they remain accessible for users who recognize and require their advantages.

Severity

Vulnerability from csaf_cisa - Published: 2024-08-15 06:00 - Updated: 2024-08-15 06:00

Summary

PTC Kepware ThingWorx Kepware Server

Notes

Legal Notice: All information products included in https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ics are provided "as is" for informational purposes only. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any information contained within. DHS does not endorse any commercial product or service, referenced in this product or otherwise. Further dissemination of this product is governed by the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) marking in the header. For more information about TLP, see https://us-cert.cisa.gov/tlp/.

Risk evaluation: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could crash the target device.

Critical infrastructure sectors: Critical Manufacturing

Countries/areas deployed: Worldwide

Company headquarters location: United States

Recommended Practices: CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability, such as:

Recommended Practices: Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.

Recommended Practices: Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.

Recommended Practices: When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.

Recommended Practices: CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

Recommended Practices: CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

Recommended Practices: CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.

Recommended Practices: Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.

Recommended Practices: Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.

Recommended Practices: No known public exploitation specifically targeting this vulnerability has been reported to CISA at this time.
