Germany-based industrial solutions provider Weidmueller on Wednesday informed customers that it has patched a dozen vulnerabilities affecting some of its industrial WLAN devices.
Weidmueller provides a wide range of connectivity, electronics, automation, assembly and workplace products to organizations worldwide, particularly in the machinery, energy, device manufacturing, transportation, process, and building infrastructure sectors.
In security advisories published on Wednesday by Weidmueller and Germany's , which coordinates cybersecurity issues related to industrial automation, organizations were informed about 12 types of vulnerabilities discovered by the vendor in its industrial WLAN devices.
The security holes impact wireless access point/bridge/client devices running firmware versions prior to 1.16.21 or 1.11.13.
Exploitation of many of the flaws requires authentication - at least with low privileges - and it's unclear if the authentication bypass vulnerability can be chained with the other vulnerabilities.
Due to the fact that Weidmueller products are used all over the world, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency also released advisories for vulnerabilities in the company's products in the past.
