Description

If the integrated development environment (IDE) or vendor software that is used to manage a device is not sufficiently secure, it could be exploited or crashed when it connects to the device, such as during a file transfer or program upload. A threat actor could use a compromised device, such as a PLC, to exploit a vulnerability within the engineering software/IDE used to manage that device. This could be used to (i) gain unauthorized access to the workstation, (ii) perform a DoS on the workstation, or (iii) propagate to other devices managed by that workstation.
