ThingWorx Kepware Server DoS (CS423892)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 206276

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

When performing an online tag generation to devices which communicate using the ControlLogix protocol, a machine-in-the-middle, or a device that is not configured correctly, could deliver a response leading to unrestricted or unregulated resource allocation. This could cause a denial-of-service condition and crash the Kepware application.
By default, these functions are turned off, yet they remain accessible for users who recognize and require their advantages.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
