Seriously? More Shit to Worry About.

Right, so Talos dug into Open PLC and Planet SCADA systems – because apparently, someone thought leaving these things wide open was a good idea. Turns out, both are riddled with vulnerabilities. We’re talking remote code execution (RCE), SQL injection, the whole goddamn mess. Basically, if you’ve got either of these running on your network and it’s exposed to the internet – which, knowing people, *some* of you do – you’re already compromised.

Open PLC? Weak authentication, predictable defaults, and a web interface that looks like it was designed in 1998. Planet SCADA? Equally charming with its own collection of flaws allowing attackers to basically take over the system. They found vulnerabilities in multiple versions, meaning you can’t just “update” your way out of this if you’re lucky enough to even *be* on a supported version.

The worst part? These aren’t some obscure, one-off systems. They’re used in actual industrial control environments – water treatment plants, manufacturing, the usual targets for people who want to cause chaos. Talos has provided IOCs and mitigation advice (shocking, I know), but honestly, if you haven’t locked these down already, you deserve whatever happens.

Don’t come crying to me when your factory floor starts building rubber ducks instead of cars. I warned you.

Look, I once had to debug a system where someone used a PLC to control…a Christmas light display. A *Christmas light display*. And they hadn’t bothered with any security whatsoever. The entire thing was accessible from the internet. I swear, some people just want to watch the world burn. It’s this kind of stupidity that keeps me employed and perpetually enraged.
