Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SICK Flexi Soft Gateways with Partnumbers 1044073, 1127717, 1130282, 1044074, 1121597, 1099832, 1051432, 1127487, 1069070, 1112296, 1044072, 1121596, 1099830

Description The issue allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to potentially impact the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the gateways via an authentication bypass by capture-replay. This could lead to significant security risks, as an attacker could exploit this weakness without needing authentication credentials.

Recommendations As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional authentication measures or restricting access to the gateways until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive areas of the gateways to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
