PHOENIX CONTACT: Advisory for TC ROUTER and CLOUD CLIENT

Published Mar 7, 2023 · Updated May 14, 2025 · Revision 2

Summary

Two Vulnerabilities have been discovered in TC ROUTER 4000 series and CLOUD CLIENT 2000 series up to firmware version 4.5.7x.107.
The web administration interface is vulnerable for authenticated admin users to path traversals, which could lead to arbitrary file uploads or deletion. Unvalidated user input also enables execution of OS commands.

Details

Impact
The web interface is available only after authentication. An authorized admin user could use these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary commands, upload arbitrary files or delete files from the device. This may lead to the device no longer functioning properly.

Mitigation
Phoenix Contact recommends operating network-capable devices in closed networks or protected with a suitable firewall. For detailed information on our recommendations for measures to protect network-capable devices, please refer to our application note: Measures to protect network-capable devices with Ethernet connection

Remediation
The vulnerability is fixed in firmware version 4.6.7x.101. We strongly recommend all affected users to upgrade to this or a later version.
