Risk Evaluation

A vulnerability in the CODESYS Visualization login dialog has been identified. During logins within the CODESYS Visualization, authentication data may not be sufficiently isolated when multiple users perform login operations concurrently. As a result, an authenticated visualization user may be able to obtain credentials entered by another visualization user. The issue affects only login operations within an active visualization session and can be triggered via local and remote access to the visualization.

Zusammenfassung der Gegenmaßnahmen

Two alternative mitigation options have been identified. One option is to avoid using the Input Action "User Management -> Login" for changing users within an active visualization session. Instead, use the Input Action "User Management -> Logout" to do a complete logout followed by a new Login to the Visualization to re-login with another user. Alternatively, property handling within the visualization can be disabled via Project Settings -> Visualization -> General -> Advanced -> "Activate property handling in all element properties", if this is not required for the compilation of the application.
