The application fails to implement several security headers. These headers help increase the overall security level of the web application by e.g., preventing the application to be displayed in an iFrame (Clickjacking attacks) or not executing injected malicious JavaScript code (XSS attacks).
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it susceptible to brute-force attacks.
A remote unauthorized attacker may gather sensitive information of the application, due to missing authorization of configuration settings of the product.
Passwords are stored in plain text within the configuration of SICK Package Analytics software up to and including V04.1.1. An authorized attacker could access these stored plaintext credentials and gain access to the ftp service. Storing a password in plaintext allows attackers to easily gain access to systems, potentially compromising personal information or other sensitive information.
