Vulnerabilities in PanelView Plus devices could lead to remote code execution


Microsoft discovered and responsibly disclosed two vulnerabilities in Rockwell Automation PanelView Plus that could be remotely exploited by unauthenticated attackers, allowing them to perform remote code execution (RCE) and denial-of-service (DoS).

The RCE vulnerability in PanelView Plus involves two custom classes that can be abused to upload and load a malicious DLL into the device. The DoS vulnerability takes advantage of the same custom class to send a crafted buffer that the device is unable to handle properly, thus leading to a DoS. PanelView Plus devices are graphic terminals, also known as human machine interface (HMI) and are used in the industrial space.
