Security Update for the OPC UA .NET Standard Stack

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 3, 2025 in OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard • Updated Mar 3, 2025

Package

nuget OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Core (NuGet)

Affected versions

Description

This security update resolves a vulnerability in the OPC UA .NET Standard Stack that allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass application authentication when the deprecated Basic128Rsa15 security policy is enabled.

Note that the Basic128Rsa15 is disabled by default so most users will not be affected. When this patch is applied the Server closes all channels using the Basic128Rsa15 if an attack is detected. This introduces a DoS before any compromise can occur which is preferable to a compromise. To prevent this failure, applications must stop using Basic128Rsa15.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
