3. TECHNICAL DETAILS

3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS

FESTO reports that the following products are affected:

  • FESTO CODESYS Gateway Server V2: All versions
  • FESTO CODESYS Gateway Server V2: prior to V2.3.9.38

3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1 PARTIAL STRING COMPARISON CWE-187

In CODESYS Gateway Server V2 for versions prior to V2.3.9.38 only part of the specified password is being compared to the real CODESYS Gateway password. An attacker may perform authentication by specifying a small password that matches the corresponding part of the longer real CODESYS Gateway password.

CVE-2022-31802 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.2 UNCONTROLLED RESOURCE CONSUMPTION CWE-400

In CODESYS Gateway Server V2 an insufficient check for the activity of TCP client connections allows an unauthenticated attacker to consume all available TCP connections and prevent legitimate users or clients from establishing a new connection to the CODESYS Gateway Server V2. Existing connections are not affected and therefore remain intact.

CVE-2022-31803 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities, such as:

  • Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.
  • Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.
  • When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Recognize VPNs may have vulnerabilities, should be updated to the most recent version available, and are only as secure as the connected devices.

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

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov. 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.
