Summary
WAGO: PLC families 750-88x and 750-352 prone to DoS attack, versions < FW10 (Update A)
Notes
Summary: The Web-Based Management (WBM) of WAGOs programmable logic controller (PLC) is typically used for administration, commissioning and updates. Older firmware versions of the PLC family 750-88x and 750-352 are vulnerable for a special denial of service attack. All newer Firmware releases since FW11, released in December 2017, are not affected.
Impact: An attacker which sends a series of maliciously constructed packets to HTTP(S) ports 80/443 could cause a crashed device, that needs a power on reset to go back to normal operation.
Mitigation: * Restrict network access to the device. * Do not directly connect the device to the internet * Disable unused TCP/UDP-ports
Remediation: Update the device to the latest FW version available here: https://www.wago.com/us/requestDownload?downloadFile=FWMedia_58_750-881

Older firmware versions (FW1 up to FW10) of the WAGO PLC family 750-88x and 750-352 are vulnerable for a special denial of service attack.

CWE-400 - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
Mitigation * Restrict network access to the device. * Do not directly connect the device to the internet * Disable unused TCP/UDP-ports
Vendor Fix Update the device to the latest FW version available here: https://www.wago.com/us/requestDownload?downloadFile=FWMedia_58_750-881
