Rockwell Automation MicroLogix 1100 PLC < Series B FRN 12.0 MitM Replay Authentication Bypass

high Nessus Plugin ID 84568

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server running on the MicroLogix 1100 PLC is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The Rockwell Automation MicroLogix 1100 PLC integrated web server has a firmware version that is prior to Series B FRN 12.0. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a failure to properly restrict session replays. A man-in-the-middle attacker via HTTP traffic can use a session replay attack to bypass the web server's authentication mechanism.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MicroLogix 1100 PLC firmware release version Series B FRN 12.0 or later.
