Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-918 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
openPDC before 2.9.477 and before 2.9.482, including its Docker image, and openHistorian before 2.8.580 and before 2.8.585 are affected. A Modbus connection feature accepts a caller-specified destination address and port without restricting which internal hosts it can reach (CWE-918). An authenticated user with low privileges can attempt connections to internal destinations and learn which ones are reachable, and repeated attempts may let an attacker map the internal network.

Description from the CNA
A Modbus connection feature on openPDC accepts a caller-specified destination address and port with no restriction on which internal hosts may be targeted. An authenticated user can attempt connections to arbitrary internal network destinations, revealing which destinations are reachable. With repeated attempts, an attacker may be able to map the internal network.
