Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to bypass user memory protections by writing to a specific memory address. An attacker can also overwrite passwords and lock engineers from reading their own memory regions.
The following components of Omron CJ1M, a programmable logic controller, are affected:
3.2.1 IMPROPER ACCESS CONTROL CWE-284
Omron CJ1M unit v4.0 and prior has improper access controls on the memory region where the UM password is stored. If an adversary issues a PROGRAM AREA WRITE command to a specific memory region, they could overwrite the password. This may lead to disabling UM protections or setting a non-ASCII password (non-keyboard characters) and preventing an engineer from viewing or modifying the user program.
CVE-2023-0811 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.1 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H).
Sam Hanson of Dragos reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
OMRON has released the following countermeasures for users to implement:
If the countermeasures cannot be applied, OMRON recommends that customers take the following mitigation measures:
