Vulnerabilities Identified in Advantech Industrial Access Points

/ 1 min read

Industrial networks face cybersecurity threats from Advantech access points. A report by Nozomi Networks Labs has identified 20 vulnerabilities in the Advantech EKI-6333AC-2G wireless access points, commonly used in industrial settings like automobile manufacturing. These vulnerabilities, including critical flaws that allow unauthenticated remote code execution, pose significant risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of industrial operations. Attackers can exploit these weaknesses through over-the-air proximity attacks, potentially leading to persistent access, denial of service, and lateral movement within corporate networks. In response, Advantech has released updated firmware versions to address these issues, urging operators to upgrade immediately to safeguard their systems against unauthorized access.
