Vulnerability from csaf_pilzgmbhcokg - Published: 2025-07-01 10:00 - Updated: 2025-07-01 10:00Summary
Pilz: Missing Authentication in Node-RED integration
Notes
Summary: Authentication is not configured by default for the Node-RED server on the Pilz industrial PC IndustrialPI. An unauthenticated remote attacker has full access to the Node-RED server and can run arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying operating system with privileged rights.
Impact: The attacker can not only view but create and alter flows in Node-RED. Flows can contain code blocks where commands are executed on the IndustrialPI itself. An attacker can use these code blocks to run any command as a privileged user on the IndustrialPI.
Remediation: Consult our PDF with remediations which you can find under [https://www.pilz.com/search#currentPage=1&SEARCH=Security%20Advis.%20IndustrialPI%20Remediat.](https://www.pilz.com/search#currentPage=1&SEARCH=Security%20Advis.%20IndustrialPI%20Remediat.). In order to activate the authentication as described in the PDF, you have to have the Node-RED service enabled via the web application.
Mitigation: Limit network access to the IndustrialPI by using a firewall or similar measures.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can run arbitrary commands on the affected devices with high privileges because the authentication for the Node_RED server is not configured by default.
10 (Critical)
Vendor Fix
Consult our PDF with remediations which you can find under [www.pilz.com/downloads](https://www.pilz.com/search#currentPage=1&SEARCH=Security%20Advis.%20IndustrialPI%20Remediat.). In order to activate the authentication as described in the PDF, you have to have the Node-RED service enabled via the web application.
Mitigation
Limit network access to the IndustrialPI by using a firewall or similar measures.
