This updated advisory is a follow-up to the original advisory titled ICSA-16-140-01 Resource Data Management Intuitive 650 TBD Controller Vulnerabilities that was published May 19, 2016, on the NCCIC/ICS-CERT web site.
Independent researcher Maxim Rupp has identified a privilege escalation vulnerability and a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Resource Data Managementβs Intuitive 650 TDB Controller. Resource Data Management has produced a new version to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely.
The following Intuitive 650 TDB Controller versions are affected:
Privilege escalation allows an attacker to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user. This includes altering logs and parameters.
A CSRF attack may allow the web browser to perform an unwanted action on a trusted site for which the user is currently authenticated.
Impact to individual organizations depends on many factors that are unique to each organization. ICS-CERT recommends that organizations evaluate the impact of these vulnerabilities based on their operational environment, architecture, and product implementation.
Resource Data Management is a UK-based company that maintains offices in several countries around the world, including the UK, US, and Asia.
The affected product, Intuitive 650 TDB Controller, is a network communication connection device. According to Resource Data Management, Intuitive 650 TDB Controller is deployed across several sectors including Commercial Facilities, Critical Manufacturing, Healthcare and Public Health, and others. Resource Data Management estimates that these products are used primarily in the United States, United Kingdom, and Asia.
A valid user can change the password for any other user, including administrators, to increase their privileges on the system.
CVE-2016-4505b has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).c
A CSRF attack occurs when a malicious program causes a web browser to perform an unwanted action on a trusted site for which the user is currently authenticated.
CVE-2016-4506e has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.0 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).f
