A local user with administrative access rights can enter specialy crafted values for settings at the user interface (UI) of the TwinCAT Package Manager which then causes arbitrary OS commands to be executed.

The MPD package included in TwinCAT/BSD allows an authenticated, low-privileged local attacker to induce a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition on the daemon and execute code in the context of user “root” via a crafted HTTP request.

The IPC-Diagnostics package included in TwinCAT/BSD is vulnerable to a local denial-of-service attack by a low privileged attacker.

The IPC-Diagnostics package in TwinCAT/BSD is susceptible to improper input neutralization by a low-privileged local attacker.

The IPC-Diagnostics package included in TwinCAT/BSD is vulnerable to a local authentication bypass by a low privileged attacker.

The package authelia-bhf included in Beckhoffs TwinCAT/BSD is prone to an open redirect that allows a remote unprivileged attacker to redirect a user to another site. This may have limited impact to integrity and does solely affect anthelia-bhf the Beckhoff fork of authelia.

TwinCAT OPC UA Server in TF6100 and TS6100 in product versions before 4.3.48.0 or with TcOpcUaServer versions below 3.2.0.194 are prone to a relative path traversal that allow administrators to create or delete any files on the system.

Incorrect Access Control in Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG CX9020 with firmware version CX9020_CB3011_WEC7_HPS_v602_TC31_B4016.6 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via the "CE Remote Display Tool" as it does not close the incoming connection on the Windows CE side if the credentials are incorrect.

TwinCAT OPC UA Server in versions up to 2.3.0.12 and IPC Diagnostics UA Server in versions up to 3.1.0.1 from Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG are vulnerable to denial of service attacks. The attacker needs to send several specifically crafted requests to the running OPC UA server. After some of these requests the OPC UA server is no longer responsive to any client. This is without effect to the real-time functionality of IPCs.

The default installation path of the TwinCAT XAR 3.1 software in all versions is underneath C:\TwinCAT. If the directory does not exist it and further subdirectories are created with permissions which allow every local user to modify the content. The default installation registers TcSysUI.exe for automatic execution upon log in of a user. If a less privileged user has a local account he or she can replace TcSysUI.exe. It will be executed automatically by another user during login. This is also true for users with administrative access. Consequently, a less privileged user can trick a higher privileged user into executing code he or she modified this way. By default Beckhoff’s IPCs are shipped with TwinCAT software installed this way and with just a single local user configured. Thus the vulnerability exists if further less privileged users have been added.
