Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Automation Direct CLICK PLC CPU Modules: C0-1x CPUs versions prior to v3.00
Description
The issue allows an attacker to connect to the PLC and read the project without authorization during the time it is unlocked by an authorized user, resulting in a privilege escalation. This occurs because all programming connections receive the same unlocked privileges.
Recommendations
For Automation Direct CLICK PLC CPU Modules: C0-1x CPUs versions prior to v3.00, update the firmware to version v3.00 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the PLC when it is unlocked by an authorized user to minimize the risk of exploitation.
