SICK InspectorP61x: Hidden Functionality
CVE-2024-10773 is a critical-severity hidden functionality vulnerability in SICK InspectorP61x from SICK, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.0 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version <5.0.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating SICK InspectorP61x to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.59% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update SICK InspectorP61x to <5.0.0 or a later version.
- Update SICK InspectorP62x to <5.0.0 or a later version.
- Update TiM3xx to <5.10.0 or 5.10.0, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on sick.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
