Tens of vulnerabilities discovered by Cisco Talos researchers in WAGO products expose some of the company's controllers and human-machine interface panels to remote attacks.
He says, attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities can be launched directly from the internet.
Chaining some of the vulnerabilities can allow an attacker to take complete control of a targeted device, and once that happens an attacker can do whatever they choose.
WAGO has released patches for a few of the vulnerabilities and many of the flaws are expected to be fixed with a firmware update scheduled for the second quarter of 2020.
This is not the first time Cisco has found vulnerabilities in WAGO products.
