CVE-2024-12137

7.6 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This authentication bypass vulnerability in Elfatek Elektronics ANKA JPD-00028 allows attackers to hijack user sessions by capturing and replaying authentication data. It affects all ANKA JPD-00028 devices running firmware versions before V.01.01. Attackers can gain unauthorized access to device management interfaces.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Elfatek Elektronics ANKA JPD-00028
Versions: All versions before V.01.01
Operating Systems: Embedded firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: This is an industrial control device used in automation systems. The vulnerability affects the authentication mechanism regardless of configuration.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete compromise of device management, allowing attackers to reconfigure industrial control systems, disable safety features, or use the device as an entry point to internal networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to device configuration, potential data exfiltration, and disruption of industrial processes controlled by the device.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if network segmentation prevents external access and strong authentication controls are in place beyond the vulnerable mechanism.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - If exposed to the internet, attackers can easily capture and replay authentication traffic to gain access.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems could still exploit this, but requires network access to the device.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

Requires ability to capture authentication traffic (network sniffing) and replay it. No authentication needed for the replay attack itself once credentials are captured.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: V.01.01 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://www.usom.gov.tr/bildirim/tr-25-0071

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Contact Elfatek Elektronics for firmware update V.01.01 or later. 2. Download the firmware from official vendor sources. 3. Follow vendor instructions to apply firmware update to ANKA JPD-00028 devices.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate ANKA JPD-00028 devices on separate VLANs with strict firewall rules to prevent unauthorized network access.

Encrypted Communication

all

Implement VPN or TLS encryption for all communication with the device to prevent credential capture.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network access controls allowing only authorized management stations to communicate with the device
  • Monitor network traffic for authentication replay attempts and implement session timeout policies

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware version via web interface or serial console. If version is below V.01.01, device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check via web interface at device IP or use vendor-specific CLI commands if available

Verify Fix Applied:

After updating, verify firmware version shows V.01.01 or higher in device management interface.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple authentication attempts from same source with identical credentials
  • Authentication from unusual IP addresses
  • Session establishment without proper login sequence

Network Indicators:

  • Repeated identical authentication packets
  • Authentication traffic from unexpected network segments
  • Unencrypted authentication traffic to device ports

SIEM Query:

source_ip=* AND dest_ip=ANKA_DEVICE_IP AND (protocol="http" OR protocol="telnet") AND event_type="authentication" AND count>5 within 60s
