A low privileged remote attacker can trigger the execution of arbitrary OS commands as root due to improper neutralization of special elements in the variable PROXY_HTTP_PORT in mGuard devices.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the behavior of the pathfinder TCP encapsulation service by establishing a high number of TCP connections to the pathfinder TCP encapsulation service. The impact is limited to blocking of valid IPsec VPN peers.

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in PHOENIX CONTACT FL/TC MGUARD Family in multiple versions may allow UDP packets to bypass the filter rules and access the solely connected device behind the MGUARD which can be used for flooding attacks.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker could cause a denial-of-service of PHOENIX CONTACT FL MGUARD and TC MGUARD devices below version 8.9.0 by sending a larger number of unauthenticated HTTPS connections originating from different source IP’s. Configuring firewall limits for incoming connections cannot prevent the issue.

On Phoenix Contact mGuard Devices versions before 8.8.3 LAN ports get functional after reboot even if they are disabled in the device configuration. For mGuard devices with integrated switch on the LAN side, single switch ports can be disabled by device configuration. After a reboot these ports get functional independent from their configuration setting: Missing Initialization of Resource
