CWE-306Published: February 20, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Missing Authentication for Critical Function in SICK FX0-GPNT v3 Firmware Version V3.04 and V3.05 allows an unprivileged remote attacker to achieve arbitrary remote code execution via maliciously crafted RK512 commands to the listener on TCP port 9000.

Risk Analysis

SICK FX0-GPNT firmware versions 3.04 and 3.05 are susceptible to remote code execution due to missing authentication for critical functions. Attackers can leverage this by sending malicious RK512 commands to the device's listener on TCP port 9000.

There is no evidence of public exploitation, and it is not included in the CISA KEV catalog.

Recommended Action

Apply the latest firmware updates provided by SICK and implement network segmentation to protect the device listener.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2023-23452 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
