AI-suggested

  1. Upgrade B&R Automation Runtime to version 6.4 or later, where this vulnerability is addressed.
  2. Implement strict email and web filtering to block or flag suspicious links that could deliver malicious CSV files.
  3. Educate employees, especially those in operational technology and engineering roles, about the risks of opening CSV files from untrusted sources and the dangers of clicking unknown links.
  4. Configure spreadsheet applications to disable automatic formula execution or enable protected view modes for files originating from the internet or untrusted locations.
  5. Employ content sanitization tools or scripts to scan and neutralize formula elements in CSV files before they are processed or imported into critical systems.
  6. Monitor network traffic and system logs for unusual activities related to CSV file generation and access.
  7. Develop incident response plans specific to industrial automation environments to quickly address any suspected exploitation.

Description

An Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File vulnerability exists in System Diagnostics Manager (SDM) of B&R Automation Runtime versions before 6.4 enabling a remote attacker to inject formula data into a generated CSV file. The exploitation of this vulnerability requires the attacker to create a malicious link. The user would need to click on this link, after which the resulting CSV file addi-tionally needs to be manually opened.
