Flaws in Ovarro TBox RTUs Could Open Industrial Systems to Remote Attacks 1

As many as five vulnerabilities have been uncovered in Ovarro’s TBox remote terminal units (RTUs) that, if left unpatched, could open the door for escalating attacks against critical infrastructures, like remote code execution and denial-of-service.

“Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in remote code execution, which may cause a denial-of-service condition,” the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in an advisory published on March 23.

TBox is an “all-in-one” solution for automation and control systems for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) applications, with its telemetry software used for remote control and monitoring of assets in a number of critical infrastructure sectors, such as water, power, oil and gas, transportation, and process industries. TBox devices can be programmed using a software suite called TWinSoft, which allows for the creation of interactive web pages, where users will be able to monitor and control their site assets.

The flaws were detected and reported to CISA by Uri Katz, a security researcher for operational technology security company Claroty. They affect multiple products,…
