Triangle MicroWorks SCADA Data Gateway vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
Triangle MicroWorks' SCADA Data Gateway version 5.01.03 and earlier contains a critical vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to perform unrestricted memory reads through specially crafted broadcast messages containing format string characters (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a format string vulnerability (CWE-134) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. An alternative assessment by Trellix assigns a CVSS score of 8.2 (HIGH) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability can be exploited to repeatedly crash the GTWWebMonitor.exe process, resulting in a denial of service condition. Additionally, authenticated users can leverage this vulnerability to leak memory from the GTWWebMonitor.exe process, which could potentially be used in an exploit chain to achieve code execution (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should upgrade to a version newer than Triangle MicroWorks' SCADA Data Gateway v5.01.03 (NVD).
