In CODESYS Development System 3.5.9.0 to 3.5.17.0 and CODESYS Scripting 4.0.0.0 to 4.1.0.0 unsafe directory permissions would allow an attacker with local access to the workstation to place potentially harmful and disguised scripts that could be executed by legitimate users.

Starting with Festo Automation Suite (FAS) version 2.8.0.138, the suite is delivered only with a connector to Codesys, rather than including Codesys directly. Prior to this version, Codesys was bundled within the FAS installation. From version 2.8.0.138 onwards, customers are required to download and install Codesys independently.

This change impacts the handling of security vulnerabilities (CVEs) related to Codesys. Any Codesys-related security issues must now be addressed by the customer through their separate Codesys installation. The FAS itself includes only the connector component, which is maintained and updated within the suite.

Please ensure that Codesys is kept up to date independently to mitigate any potential security risks associated with the Codesys software.

Schneider Electric is aware of multiple vulnerabilities disclosed on CODESYS runtime system V3 communication server. Many vendors, including Schneider Electric, embed CODESYS in their offers. If successfully exploited, these vulnerabilities could result in a denial of service or, in some cases, in remote code execution on PacDrive controllers, Modicon Controllers M241 / M251 / M262 / M258 / LMC058 / LMC078 / M218 , HMISCU, the Simulation Runtime SoftSPS from EcoStruxure Machine Expert and EcoStruxure Microgrid Operation products. Failure to apply the mitigations provided below may result in denial of service and/or arbitrary remote code execution.

The following vulnerabilities are published with reference to CODESYS Advisory 2023-05, CODESYS Advisory 2023-06 and CODESYS Advisory 2023-09

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in CODESYS ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, Dateien zu manipulieren oder einen Brute-Force-Angriff durchzuführen.
