Summary
On December 21, 2023, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released two Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories, ICSA-23-355-01 and ICSA-23-355-02, to alert users and administrators about current security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits affecting ICS.
Advisory ICSA-23-355-01: FXC AE1021/AE1021PE
This advisory affects FXC’s AE1021 and AE1021PE products, which are used in industrial control systems. CISA has identified a vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to access the device’s web interface and execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability has been rated as High severity, making it a priority for remediation.
The advisory provides detailed information on the affected products, the vulnerability itself, and recommended mitigations to prevent exploitation. Users and administrators are advised to apply the latest available updates or patches to address this vulnerability.
Advisory ICSA-23-355-02: QNAP VioStor NVR
The second advisory affects QNAP’s VioStor NVR (Network Video Recorder) products, which are used in various industrial and commercial settings. CISA has identified multiple vulnerabilities, including cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and SQL injection, that could lead to unauthorized access and data theft.
The advisory provides details on the affected products, the vulnerabilities, and recommended mitigations, including updating to the latest firmware version or applying patch updates. Users and administrators are advised to implement proper security configurations and best practices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Conclusions
CISA encourages users and administrators to review the advisories in detail and apply the recommended mitigations to address the identified vulnerabilities and prevent potential security incidents. It is crucial to stay up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates to ensure the integrity and safety of industrial control systems.
I do not have further information on the specific technical details or consequences of exploiting these vulnerabilities, as this information is not publicly available. Users and administrators are advised to consult the CISA advisories and QNAP documentation for more information on the vulnerabilities and recommended mitigations.
