CVE-2024-1490: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in WAGO CC100 (0751-9x01)
CVE-2024-1490 is a high-severity vulnerability in the WAGO CC100 (0751-9x01) PLC that allows an authenticated remote attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary shell commands via the OpenVPN configuration in the device's web-based management interface. This occurs if user-defined scripts are permitted, enabling code injection through improper control of code generation. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7. 2, indicating significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2024-1490) affects the WAGO CC100 (0751-9x01) programmable logic controller. It arises from improper control of code generation (CWE-94) in the OpenVPN configuration accessible via the device's web-based management interface. An attacker with authenticated high privileges can exploit this by injecting arbitrary shell commands if user-defined scripts are allowed, potentially leading to full compromise of the device. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official remediation level has been published by the vendor as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary shell commands on the WAGO CC100 device, potentially leading to full system compromise including unauthorized control, data manipulation, or denial of service. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the web-based management interface to trusted administrators only and disable user-defined scripts in the OpenVPN configuration if possible to reduce risk.
