Description Preview
The Danfoss AK-EM100 device contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in its login forms. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code through the login interface, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the underlying database, extracting sensitive information, or executing administrative operations on the device.
Overview
The Danfoss AK-EM100, a device commonly used in industrial control systems and refrigeration management, contains a SQL injection vulnerability in its web-based login forms. This vulnerability occurs because user input from the login forms is not properly sanitized or parameterized before being included in SQL queries. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by submitting specially crafted input containing SQL commands, which could allow them to bypass authentication, access sensitive data from the database, modify database contents, or potentially gain control of the device. This vulnerability represents a significant risk to organizations using these devices, especially in critical infrastructure environments.
Remediation
- Update to the latest firmware version provided by Danfoss that addresses this vulnerability.
- If updates are not immediately available, consider implementing network segmentation to restrict access to the AK-EM100 devices.
- Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) or similar security control to filter malicious SQL injection attempts.
- Monitor system logs for suspicious login attempts or unusual database queries.
- Implement IP restrictions to allow only authorized systems to access the AK-EM100 web interface.
- Consider placing the devices behind a VPN or other secure remote access solution rather than exposing them directly to networks.
- Contact Danfoss support for specific security guidance related to your implementation.
