~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
The Ewon Cosy+ is a VPN gateway used for remote access and maintenance
in industrial environments.
The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]):
"The Ewon Cosy+ gateway establishes a secure VPN connection between
the machine (PLC, HMI, or other devices) and the remote engineer.
The connection happens through Talk2m, a highly secured industrial
cloud service. The Ewon Cosy+ makes industrial remote access easy
and secure like never before!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
The Ewon Cosy+ executes all tasks and services in the context
of the user "root" and therefore with the highest system privileges.
By compromising a single service, attackers automatically gain full
system access.
