IDC’s research demonstrates that enterprise organizations are prioritizing digital infrastructure (DX) resiliency as a foundational element of their IT strategy. Organizations are looking for richer levels of visibility, cross-platform control, advanced data management, and protection that spans the entire ecosystem, including public or private cloud, on premises, colocation facility, and edge. DX initiatives rely on data-driven insights to deliver competitive differentiation, increased customer engagement, streamlined business operations, increased staff productivity, and growth in revenue and profitability. IT infrastructure is one of the crucial pillars of DX. In fact, DX cannot succeed without IT transformation, aligned with business strategy to meet or exceed service-level objectives for data-driven insights. Because of this realization, organizations are now focused on managing outcomes instead of IT infrastructure and looking to vendors and partners to help reach this goal.

8 Vulnerabilities in OAS Platform for IoT Data, Detected by Cisco

Cisco | September 14, 2023

Cisco disclosed eight vulnerabilities in the OAS platform’s engine configuration management functionality. Three of the eight detected vulnerabilities were rated as high-severity. The issues detected in OAS platform v18.00.0072 were addressed and, v19 was released. Cisco's Talos security researchers have identified eight vulnerabilities in the Open Automation Software (OAS) Platform that can be exploited to bypass authentication, disclose sensitive information, and overwrite files. The OAS Platform is commonly used to facilitate communication and data transfer between servers, industrial control systems (ICS), IoT devices, and other hardware in industrial and enterprise settings. The OAS Platform is widely deployed in industrial operations, enterprise environments, and cross-platform integrations. It plays a crucial role in facilitating communication and data exchange across various devices and systems, facilitating logging and notifications. The vulnerabilities pose a significant security risk, especially in environments where the OAS Platform is used for critical industrial and enterprise operations. Unauthorized access and data breaches can lead to operational disruptions and potentially compromise sensitive information. Among the eight vulnerabilities, three are rated as high-severity. Cisco's Talos security researchers were responsible for discovering and disclosing these vulnerabilities. The most critical issues are CVE-2023-31242 and CVE-2023-34998, both of which are authentication bypass flaws. CVE-2023-31242 can be triggered through a sequence of requests, while CVE-2023-34998 can be exploited by sniffing network traffic. The identified vulnerabilities in the OAS Platform mainly revolve around authentication bypass, information disclosure, and file manipulation. Attackers could leverage these weaknesses to create new users, gain unauthorized access, decrypt sensitive information, and perform arbitrary file and directory actions. These vulnerabilities essentially allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to the system by loading and saving configurations to a disk and installing them on other devices. The issues were identified in OAS Platform version 18 and have been addressed in the subsequent release, version 19.00.0000, highlighting the importance of keeping software up-to-date to mitigate security risks. These issues stem from the fact that when the OAS engine is deployed, by default, no admin user is defined and no authentication is required to access functionality such as new user creation. Even if an admin user is created, the configuration must be stored prior to restarting the engine, or it will revert to its default state. An attacker can create a new user, save the changes, and thus gain access to the underlying system. Also, the vulnerability enables an attacker to acquire a protobuf containing valid admin credentials and construct their own requests. The perpetrator could then again obtain access to the underlying system by utilizing the user creation and saving functionality. Cisco warns that these authentication bypass flaws could be combined with CVE-2023-34317, an improper input validation flaw in the user creation functionality, to gain access to the underlying system by adding ‘a user with the username field containing an SSH key.’ CVE-2023-34353 is another high-severity authentication bypass that allows an attacker to perform network snooping to acquire the protobuf containing admin credentials and then decrypt sensitive information. While two of the remaining vulnerabilities could result in information disclosure, the other two could be exploited to create or overwrite arbitrary files and create arbitrary directories.

Consumer Technology Association Joins White House to Support Cybersecurity Labeling Program to Protect Consumers from IoT Attacks

prnewswire | July 20, 2023

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) today joined officials from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the National Security Council (NSC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the launch of the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program to give consumers more information about the cybersecurity of the Internet of Things (IoT)-connected products they buy. "While walking CES this year, I saw IoT products that improve healthcare, transportation and energy efficiency. While IoT makes our world better, it also tempts bad actors to exploit consumers' connected devices," said CTA president and CEO Gary Shapiro. "Research shows consumers want more information on the safety and security of their connected devices, and we agree." Today's announcement is a prime example of what can be accomplished through public-private cooperation. This announcement was informed by recommendations that CTA made over the past five years. The program relies on a voluntary, dynamic product certification program that requires manufacturers to use specific security measures. That certification will help educate consumers and businesses about new connected products they're evaluating or purchasing. CTA has a proven track record seeding and leading public-private collaborations, as evidenced by its recent work with industry and the FDA to bring over-the-counter hearing aids to tens of millions of Americans. In the coming days, the FCC will launch the rulemaking process to support the Cyber Trust program. Consumers can expect to see certification-ready products at CES 2024. In the interim, CTA will continue to convene manufacturers, alliances, universities, consumer advocates, and CTA's own ANSI accredited standards body to work with federal officials as they craft final rules governing the program. As the FCC works to stand up the Cyber Trust Mark program, CTA, as the voice of the tech industry, will show that government and industry can work together to strengthen incentives for participation, and ensure manufacturers and retailers embrace this critical program. "CTA's work created the foundation for the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark to help consumers identify secure products," said Michael Bergman, Vice President, Technology and Standards, CTA. "This program will minimize label footprint on packaging, while allowing for flexibility in displaying web pages for specific security parameters to consumers for participating devices." Today's announcement was held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and included a trade-show-style exhibition showcasing the latest technology in internet-connected consumer products, including TVs, washing machines, and a range of consumer appliances. About Consumer Technology Association As North America's largest technology trade association, CTA® is the tech sector. Our members are the world's leading innovators – from startups to global brands – helping support more than 18 million American jobs. CTA owns and produces CES® – the most influential tech event in the world.
