Avoid the existence of user accounts with login permission on the target other than administrator access. By default, TwinCAT/BSD has preconfigured user accounts with lower privileges, but none of them have a password, which results in them being denied login access. Avoid running third-party applications on the target that have not been properly audited, regardless of the user they are running as.

- VDE-2024-050Beckhoff: Denial-of-Service vulnerability in the MDP package included in TwinCAT/BSD operating system2024-08-27csaf · beckhoff_psirtDE
By default, TwinCAT/BSD-based products have a device-specific web interface for web-based management (WBM) enabled, developed by Beckhoff and known as Beckhoff Device Manager UI. It can be accessed remotely or locally. When accessed locally, a user can post specifically crafted input which then causes a buffer overflow on stack which in turn lets the process 'MDPService' crash such that the web interface becomes unavailable until next restart or even execute code in the context of user 'root'.
