Tenable Research Advisory: TRA-2018-07

Risk Factor: Critical

What do you need to know?

Tenable Research recently discovered a new remote code execution vulnerability in Schneider Electric’s InduSoft Web Studio and InTouch Machine Edition. The applications contain an overflow condition that is triggered when input is not properly validated. This allows an attacker to force a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. Read our full analysis here. Read TechRepublic’s coverage.

What’s the attack vector?

The vulnerability can be remotely exploited without authentication to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

What’s the business impact?

A malicious threat actor can completely compromise and gain control of the system and use it as a pivot point to move laterally through a network.

What’s the solution?

Schneider Electric has released InduSoft Web Studio v8.1 SP1 and InTouch Machine Edition 2017 v8.1 SP1 to address this vulnerability. Affected users should apply the patches ASAP.
