CVE-2024-31201
A “CWE-428: Unquoted Search Path or Element” affects the ThermoscanIP_Scrutation service. Such misconfiguration could be abused in scenarios where incorrect permissions were assigned to the C:\ path to attempt a privilege escalation on the local machine.
Although such misconfiguration depends on end-users and it is not enabled on Windows by default, the level of privileges obtained by an attacker capable of exploiting the vulnerability would be those of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
6.5
No official patch available from vendor. Implement strict access controls for the temperature monitoring infrastructure. This includes preventing regular clients from accessing the web configuration interface, thereby limiting potential points of exploitation. Conduct regular and thorough reviews of logs and user accounts on systems running the Thermoscan IP software. This will help identify and address any suspicious activities early, ensuring that any potential security breaches are caught and remediated swiftly.

“Threat actors love finding new ways to attack critical infrastructure. We love finding new ways to detect their malware before damage occurs.”
TRITON is the first known cyberattack that directly interacted with a Safety Instrumented System (SIS). Labs reverse engineered the TriStation suite of software and delivered a report and two free tools for security researchers. This research was presented at Black Hat USA 2018.
The Labs team reverse engineered the GreyEnergy malicious document (maldoc) that leads to the installation of the malware (backdoor) on a victim’s network. Project outcomes include a report, multiple blogs and two free tools for security researchers.
IEC Working Group 15 (WG15) is developing technology standards for secure-by-design power systems. Labs contributes to the standards and has demonstrated how they can be used to identify hard-to-detect cyberattacks. Research from this effort was presented at Black Hat USA 2019.
