Attackers Chain CODESYS Vulnerabilities to Backdoor Applications
Nozomi Networks Labs published critical research detailing three new vulnerabilities in the CODESYS Control runtime. When chained together, these security flaws allow an authenticated attacker with low-level privileges to replace a legitimate industrial control application with a backdoored version. Ultimately, this exploit path leads to complete administrative control over the target device and its host…
