CVSS v3 7.3
ATTENTION: Remotely exploitable/low skill level to exploit
Vendor: Westermo
Equipment: MRD-305-DIN, MRD-315, MRD-355, and MRD-455
Vulnerabilities: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Use of Hard-Coded
Credentials, and Use of Hard-Coded Cryptographic Key
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following Westermo router models and firmware versions are affected:
MRD-305-DIN versions older than 1.7.5.0, and
MRD-315, MRD-355, MRD-455 versions older than 1.7.5.0
IMPACT
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker
to obtain hard-coded cryptographic keys, hard-coded credentials, or trick a
user into submitting a malicious request, resulting in the attacker gaining
unauthorized access to the device and running arbitrary code.
MITIGATION
Westermo recommends that users update to the latest firmware version 1.7.7.0.
The new version can be downloaded at:
http://www.westermo.com (link is external)
Westermo has also released a security advisory that can be found at:
http://www.westermo.com/solutions/cyber-security/resource-centre (link is
external)
NCCIC/ICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize the
risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and
ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and
isolate them from the business network.
When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be
updated to the most current version available. Also, recognize that VPN is
only as secure as the connected devices.
ICS-CERT reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
ICS-CERT also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are
available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control
Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly
available in the ICSCERT Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies, that is available for download from the ICS-CERT web site.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to ICS-CERT for
tracking and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
CROSS-SITE REQUEST FORGERY (CSRF) CWE-352
The application does not verify whether a request was intentionally provided
by the user, making it possible for an attacker to trick a user into making a
malicious request to the server.
CVE-2017-12703 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 8.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
USE OF HARD-CODED CREDENTIALS CWE-798
The device utilizes hard-coded credentials, which could allow for unauthorized
local low privileged access to the device.
CVE-2017-12709 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 5.9 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
USE OF HARD-CODED CRYTPGRAPHIC KEY CWE-321
The device utilizes hard-coded private cryptographic keys that may allow an
attacker to decrypt traffic from any other source.
CVE-2017-5816 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
10.0 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
