Official description
A vulnerability has been found in FAST/TOOLS provided by Yokogawa Electric Corporation. The web server accepts access by IP address. When a worm that randomly searches for IP addresses intrudes into the network, it could potentially be attacked by the worm. The affected products and versions are as follows: FAST/TOOLS (Packages: RVSVRN, UNSVRN, HMIWEB, FTEES, HMIMOB) R9.01 to R10.04
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Reliance on IP Address for Authentication
The product uses an IP address for authentication.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use other means of identity verification that cannot be simply spoofed. Possibilities include a username/password or certificate. While IP address verification can be a useful part of an authentication scheme, but it should not be the single factor required for authentication.
