WAGO firmware before 4.10.0 lets low-privileged users change PROFIBUS settings
Original title: WAGO OS Linux
Web-Based Management fails to enforce permissions, so a remote user can alter root-owned fieldbus parameters.
WAGO firmware from 1.0.0 before 4.10.0 on numerous controller models does not enforce Web-Based Management permissions for all PROFIBUS configuration operations. A low-privileged remote attacker can change root-owned parameters, including device addressing and SSA settings. WAGO tells users to install firmware 4.10.0 (FW32) or higher; the related advisory is VDE-2026-096.
