CVE-2022-1467

AVEVA InTouch Access Anywhere Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere

Published May 23, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 7.4 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Windows OS can be configured to overlay a “language bar” on top of any application. When this OS functionality is enabled, the OS language bar UI will be viewable in the browser alongside the AVEVA InTouch Access Anywhere and Plant SCADA Access Anywhere applications. It is possible to manipulate the Windows OS language bar to launch an OS command prompt, resulting in a context-escape from application into OS.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

AVEVA recommends the following mitigations: Disable the Windows language bar on the server machine hosting InTouch Access Anywhere and Plant SCADA Access Anywhere applications unless it is required. Create unique user accounts with minimal privileges dedicated only to remote access of InTouch Access Anywhere and Plant SCADA Access Anywhere applications. Utilize OS group policy objects (GPOs) to further restrict what those unique user accounts are allowed to do. Restrict access based on Microsoft’s recommended block list.
