Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley Multiple Devices Authentication Bypass (ICSA-18-310-02)

high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 720141

Synopsis

Rockwell Automation MicroLogix 1400 Controllers and 1756 ControlLogix Communications Modules allow an unauthenticated, remote threat actor could send a CIP connection request to an affected device, and upon successful connection, send a new IP configuration to the affected device.

Description

Rockwell Automation MicroLogix 1400 Controllers and 1756 ControlLogix Communications Modules allow an unauthenticated, remote threat actor could send a CIP connection request to an affected device, and upon successful connection, send a new IP configuration to the affected device even if the controller in the system is set to Hard RUN mode. When the affected device accepts this new IP configuration, a loss of communication occurs between the device and the rest of the system as the system traffic is still attempting to communicate with the device via the overwritten IP address.

Solution

Perform vendor recommended mitigations and apply available vendor upgrades.
