Honeywell · Honeywell Experion Pks Safety Manager · CVE-2022-30316
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Honeywell Experion PKS Safety Manager version 5.02 **Description** The issue is related to insufficient verification of data authenticity, allowing for potential firmware manipulation. The affected component is the firmware update functionality. An attacker with access to the serial interface can utilize hardcoded credentials for the POLO bootloader to control the boot process and push malicious firmware images, enabling firmware manipulation, remote code execution, and denial of service impacts. The vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker with access to the serial interface, either through physical access, a compromised engineering workstation, or an exposed serial-to-ethernet gateway. A mitigating factor is that a reboot of the Safety Manager is required to initiate a firmware update, which is typically done through physical controls on the device. **Recommendations** For Honeywell Experion PKS Safety Manager version 5.02, consider disabling the firmware update functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the serial interface and the POLO bootloader to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using hardcoded credentials for the POLO bootloader. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the serial interface and the engineering workstation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

Saia Burgess Controls · Saia Burgess Controls Pcd · CVE-2022-30319
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Saia Burgess Controls (SBC) PCD through 2022-05-06 **Description** The issue concerns an authentication bypass in the S-Bus protocol used by Saia Burgess Controls (SBC) PCD controllers. The S-Bus protocol, which operates on UDP port 5050, is utilized for various engineering purposes and allows for password configuration to restrict access to sensitive functionality. However, the authentication mechanism, based on a MAC/IP whitelist with an inactivity timeout, can be bypassed by spoofing UDP traffic. An attacker capable of observing traffic can exploit this by sending arbitrary messages using the MAC/IP of an authenticated client, thereby gaining access to sensitive engineering functions such as uploading or downloading control logic and manipulating controller configurations. **Recommendations** For Saia Burgess Controls (SBC) PCD through 2022-05-06, consider restricting access to the S-Bus protocol (5050/UDP) to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the `S-Bus` protocol to only necessary engineering purposes. Additionally, monitor network traffic for signs of spoofing attempts and implement additional security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the controllers. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
