Advantech vulnerabilities and threats

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to send Modbus TCP packets to manipulate Digital Outputs, potentially allowing remote control of relay channel which may lead to operational or safety risks.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to intercept data and conduct session hijacking on the exposed data as the vulnerable product uses unencrypted HTTP communication, potentially leading to unauthorised access or data tampering.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to consume all available session slots and block other users from logging in, thereby preventing legitimate users from gaining access to the product.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to conduct brute force guessing and account takeover as the session cookies are predictable, potentially allowing the attackers to gain root, admin or user access and reset passwords.
