1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v4 9.3 ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low attack complexity Vendor: Delta Electronics Equipment: InfraSuite Device Master Vulnerability: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following versions of InfraSuite Device Master, a real-time device monitoring software, are affected: InfraSuite Device Master: Versions 1.0.12 and prior 3.2 Vulnerability Overview 3.2.1 DESERIALIZATION OF UNTRUSTED DATA CWE-502 Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions prior to 1.0.12 are affected by a deserialization vulnerability that targets the Device-Gateway, which could allow deserialization of arbitrary .NET objects prior to authentication, resulting in remote code execution. CVE-2024-10456 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-10456. A base score of 9.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). 3.3 BACKGROUND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Critical Manufacturing COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Taiwan 3.4 RESEARCHER Simon Humbert of Trend Micro reported this vulnerability to CISA.
4. MITIGATIONS Delta Electronics states that this issue was fixed by version 1.0.13 released in October 2024. Delta recommends updating to version 1.0.13 or later. CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability, such as: Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks: Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages. Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams.
