CVE-2024-8751: CWE-306 Missing Authentication for Critical Function in SICK AG MSC800
A vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to modify the prod uct’s IP address over the Sopas ET interface. This can lead to a Denial of Service attack.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2024-8751) in SICK AG's MSC800 device (version V1.0) involves missing authentication for a critical function (CWE-306). An unauthenticated remote attacker can alter the product's IP address through the Sopas ET interface, which can disrupt normal operation and result in denial of service. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and an impact limited to availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to modify the IP address configuration of the MSC800 device, leading to denial of service conditions. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity reported. This can disrupt device availability and potentially affect dependent systems or processes relying on the device's network connectivity.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level has been provided by the vendor as of the publication date. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the Sopas ET interface to trusted sources only to reduce exposure.
