A path injection vulnerability exists in OpenPLC v3 (2c82b0e79c53f8c1f1458eee15fec173400d6e1a) as the binary program compiled from glue_generator.cpp does not perform any validation on the file path parameters passed via the command line. The user-controlled input parameters are directly passed to the underlying file operation functions (fopen/ifstream/ofstream) for file reading and writing. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by constructing a malicious path to read arbitrary readable files.

OpenPLC_V3 REST API endpoint checks for JWT presence but never verifies the caller's role. Any authenticated user with role=user can delete any other user, including administrators, by specifying their user ID or they can create new accounts with role=admin, escalating to full administrator access.

OpenPLC_V3 is vulnerable to a Plaintext Storage of a Password vulnerability that could allow an attacker to retrieve credentials and access sensitive information.

OpenPLC_V3 is vulnerable to an Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default vulnerability which could allow an attacker to gain access to the system by bypassing authentication via an API.

OpenPLC 3 through 9cd8f1b allows XSS via an SVG document as a profile picture.

Command Injection in Open PLC Webserver v3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "Hardware Layer Code Box" component on the "/hardware" page of the application.

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the OpenPLC controller, in the OpenPLC_v2 and OpenPLC_v3 versions. It occurs in the modbus.cpp mapUnusedIO() function, which can cause a runtime crash of the PLC or possibly have unspecified other impact.
