CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
The Modicon M580 is the latest in Schneider Electric’s Modicon line of Programmable Automation Controllers. The device boasts a Wurldtech Achilles Level 2 certification and global policy controls to quickly enforce various security configurations. Communication with the device is possible over FTP, TFTP, HTTP, SNMP, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and a management protocol referred to as UMAS.
When transferring a new strategy or reading the existing strategy of the Modicon M580 via device programming software, the UMAS management protocol is used. This protocol sends and receives cleartext data, allowing anyone sniffing traffic to view any transmitted information. If the transfer of a new strategy by the device programming software is sniffed, it is possible to obtain sensitive information such as the device SNMP community strings.
