CVE-2023-0102Network attack vector

Arbitrary file deletion via unauthenticated command

Published Feb 15, 2023 · Updated Jan 16, 2025

Missing authentication in LS ELECTRIC XBC-DN32U OS 01.80 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files through a network command. The PLC accepts its deletion command without verifying the sender's identity or authorization, then applies the requested deletion to an attacker-chosen file. Network reachability to the PLC is sufficient, and successful use deletes PLC-resident files; the public record does not identify the protocol message or affected paths.
