Several potentially serious vulnerabilities have been discovered in some of the industrial 4G routers made by Phoenix Contact, a Germany-based provider of industrial automation, connectivity and interface solutions.
TC CLOUD CLIENT devices provide an industrial VPN gateway for remote maintenance via a 4G network.
SEC Consult has discovered three types of vulnerabilities affecting these routers.
The version used in these devices is affected by several vulnerabilities, including ones that could be used for code execution and writing arbitrary files.
The vulnerabilities were reported to the vendor in late January and firmware updates were released in early March, which is impressive for an industrial solutions vendor.
