Team82 has developed a novel technique called the Evil PLC Attack in which programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are weaponized and used to compromise engineering workstations. An attacker with a foothold on an engineering workstation can have access to anything else on the OT network to which an engineer connects that machine, including other PLCs.
Hardcoded credentials in the Frick Controls Quantum HD create a vulnerability that leads to unauthorized access, exposure of sensitive information, and potential misuse or system compromise.
The Frick Controls Quantum HD, versions 10.22 through 11, are legacy platforms that have reached end of support. Johnson Controls, Inc. recommends upgrading to the latest platform, Quantum HD Unity, version 12 or higher. After completing the upgrade to version 12, verify full compliance with the hardening guide and apply all recommended security configurations.
CVSS v3: 6.2
The Frick Controls Quantum HD contains a vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device, leading to full system compromise.
