VULNERABILITY DETAILS

Rockwell Automation used version 3.1 of the CVSS scoring system to assess the following vulnerabilities.

CVE-2023-38545 IMPACT

Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Activation Manager and Studio 5000 Logix Designer uses the affected Wibu-Systems’ products which internally use the libcurl in a version that is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack if curl is configured to redirect traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy. A malicious proxy can exploit a bug in the implemented handshake to cause a buffer overflow. If no SOCKS5 proxy has been configured, there is no attack surface.

CVSS Base Score: 7.9

CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/ AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write

Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) database: No
