-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Advisory ID: SYSS-2024-043 Product: Ewon Cosy+ / Talk2M Remote Access Solution Manufacturer: HMS Industrial Networks AB Affected Version(s): N.A. Tested Version(s): N.A. Vulnerability Type: Improper Authentication (CWE-287) Risk Level: High Solution Status: Fixed Manufacturer Notification: 2024-04-17 Solution Date: 2024-04-18 Public Disclosure: 2024-08-11 CVE Reference: CVE-2024-33897 Author of Advisory: Moritz Abrell, SySS GmbH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overview: The Ewon Cosy+ is a VPN gateway used for remote access and maintenance in industrial environments. The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]): "The Ewon Cosy+ gateway establishes a secure VPN connection between the machine (PLC, HMI, or other devices) and the remote engineer. The connection happens through Talk2m, a highly secured industrial cloud service. The Ewon Cosy+ makes industrial remote access easy and secure like never before!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vulnerability Details: During account assignment in the Talk2M platform, a Cosy+ device generates and sends a certificate signing request (CSR) to the back end. This CSR is then signed by the manufacturer and used for OpenVPN authentication by the device afterward. Since the common name (CN) of the certificate is specified by the device and used in order to assign the OpenVPN session to the corresponding Talk2M account, an attacker with root access to a Cosy+ device is able to manipulate the CSR and get correctly signed certificates for foreign devices. Using these certificates for OpenVPN authentication results in hijacking the VPN session and allows for further attacks, e.g.: - - Impacting the accessibility of the original device - - Attacking the Talk2M-connected user device via the VPN connection - - Eavesdropping and manipulating the network communication of connected users ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proof of Concept (PoC): Note: Since the X.509 client certificate of a Cosy+, which is used for authentication against the Talk2M API, is handled by the hardware security module (HSM), root access to a Cosy+ device is required. 1.
