On our YouTube channel Festo Service, you will find practical and user-friendly video tutorials on topics that are the subject of frequently asked questions in the areas of maintenance, commissioning and repair.

Unauthenticated access to critical webpage functions (e.g. reboot) may cause a denial of service ofthe device.

The products are shipped with an unsafe configuration of the integrated CODESYS Runtime environment. In this case no default password is set to the CODESYS PLC and therefore access without authentication is possible.

With a successful established connection to the CODESYS Runtime the PLC-Browser commands are available. Thus granting the possibilities to e.g. read and modify the configuration file(s), start/stop the application and reboot the device.

Incomplete Festo product documentation of remote accessible functions and their required IP ports. Depending on the product a description of the supported features can be found in the product documentation to some extent.

Festo developed the products according to the respective state of the art. As a result, the protocols used no longer fully meet today's security requirements. The products are designed and developed for use in sealed-off (industrial) networks. If the network is not adequately sealed off, unauthorized access to the product can cause damage or malfunctions, particularly Denial of Service (DoS) or loss of integrity.

Several high severity vulnerabilities in CODESYS V3 affecting Festo products could lead to Remote Code Execution or Denial of Service.
