EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

An exploitable command injection vulnerability exists in the iocheckd service ‘I/O-Check’ function of the WAGO PFC 200 version 03.02.02(14). At 0x1e3f0 the extracted dns value from the xml file is used as an argument to /etc/config-tools/edit_dns_server %s dns-server-nr=%d dns-server-name=<contents of dns node> using sprintf(). This command is later executed via a call to system(). This is done in a loop and there is no limit to how many dns entries will be parsed from the xml file.

remediations

Vendor fix, mitigation, or workaround guidance, as published by each source.

A vendor fix is available.

  • Fixedwago_psirt

    The I/O-Check service protocol is only needed during installation and commissioning, not during normal operations. It is highly recommended to disable the I/O-Check service after commissioning. This is the easiest and securest way to protect your device from the listed vulnerabilities. Regardless of the action described above, the vulnerabilities are expected to be fixed in FW16 Release in Q2/2020.

  • Mitigationwago_psirt

    * Disable I/O-Check service. * Restrict network access to the device. * Do not directly connect the device to the internet. * Disable unused TCP/UDP-ports.
