A vulnerability in the .sdd file allows an attacker to read default passwords stored in plain text within the code. By exploiting these plaintext credentials, an attacker can log into affected SICK products as an “Authorized Client” if the customer has not changed the default password.

A vulnerability in the MSC800 allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify the product’s IP address over Sopas ET. This can lead to Denial of Service. Users are recommended to upgrade both MSC800 and MSC800 LFT to version V4.26 and S2.93.20 respectively which fixes this issue.
