Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code using untrusted data.
The following Eaton Intelligent power monitoring products are affected:
The affected product has reached its End of Life, it is vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to insufficient validation of input from certain resources by the IPM Infrastructure software. The attacker would need access to the local Subnet and an administrator interaction to compromise the system.
CVE-2021-23284 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.7 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H).
The affected product has reached its End of Life, it is vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability due to insufficient validation of input from certain resources by the IPM Infrastructure software. The attacker would need access to the local Subnet and an administrator interaction to compromise the system.
CVE-2021-23285 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 3.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).
The affected product has reached its End of Life, it is vulnerable to a CSV Formula Injection. The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of imported CSV files. The attacker would need access to the local Subnet and an administrator interaction to compromise the system.
CVE-2021-23286 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H).
Michael Heinzl reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
The product has reached its End Of Life, the notification has been posted at: Lifecycle Notification. The transition to IPM Monitor Edition is in progress. Refer the Product page for further details.
Until the transition is complete, Eaton recommends the below guidelines should be followed.
Eaton recommends users follow the security best practices and configure the logical access mechanisms provided in IPM to safeguard the application from unauthorized access. IPM provides various types of administrative, operational, configuration privilege levels. Use the available access control mechanisms properly to ensure system and application access is restricted to legitimate users only. Ensure users are restricted to only the privilege levels necessary to complete their job roles/functions.
For additional information, please visit Eatonβs cybersecurity website.
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov Several recommended practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov in the Technical Information Paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01BβTargeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks:
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
