Vulnerabilities

A path injection vulnerability exists in OpenPLC v3 (2c82b0e79c53f8c1f1458eee15fec173400d6e1a) as the binary program compiled from glue_generator.cpp does not perform any validation on the file path parameters passed via the command line. The user-controlled input parameters are directly passed to the underlying file operation functions (fopen/ifstream/ofstream) for file reading and writing. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by constructing a malicious path to read arbitrary readable files.

OpenPLC_V3 is vulnerable to an Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default vulnerability which could allow an attacker to gain access to the system by bypassing authentication via an API.

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the OpenPLC Runtime EtherNet/IP parser functionality of OpenPLC _v3 b4702061dc14d1024856f71b4543298d77007b88. A specially crafted EtherNet/IP request can lead to remote code execution. An attacker can send a series of EtherNet/IP requests to trigger this vulnerability.

OpenPLC 3 through 9cd8f1b allows XSS via an SVG document as a profile picture.

Command Injection in Open PLC Webserver v3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "Hardware Layer Code Box" component on the "/hardware" page of the application.

OpenPLC runtime V3 through 2016-03-14 allows stored XSS via the Device Name to the web server's Add New Device page.

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the OpenPLC controller, in the OpenPLC_v2 and OpenPLC_v3 versions. It occurs in the modbus.cpp mapUnusedIO() function, which can cause a runtime crash of the PLC or possibly have unspecified other impact.
