Siemens Safety Systems: Vulnerability Warning or Comedy of (Security) Errors?
Siemens product vulnerabilities are getting the cold shoulder from CISA, leaving security advisories to Siemens’ ProductCERT. With CVSS v4 scores up to 8.7, attackers could eavesdrop and retrieve sensitive data. Meanwhile, Siemens advises locking the proverbial front door and ensuring network isolation. Who knew cybersecurity could be so… electrifying?
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like Siemens’ SIRIUS Safety Systems might need a bit more than a guardian angel right now. With vulnerabilities as glaring as a neon sign in the desert, it’s time to batten down the hatches and make sure your safety systems are really, well, safe! Maybe Siemens should start handing out complimentary tin foil hats with their products—just in case.
Key Points:
- Siemens’ SIRIUS Safety Systems have multiple vulnerabilities, leaving them open to remote exploitation.
- Vulnerabilities include weak password obfuscation and lack of encryption for data in transit.
- Siemens recommends network isolation and restricted physical access as interim measures.
- CISA will no longer update advisories; users are directed to Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories for updates.
- No known public exploits reported, but caution and proactive cybersecurity measures are advised.
