Siemens Security Alert: Massive Device Vulnerability Hits Hard!
Attention Siemens users, brace yourselves! As of January 10, 2023, CISA will stop updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities. For those eagerly awaiting the latest exploits, look no further than Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories. Remember, staying informed is key—unless you’d like your devices to throw a wild denial-of-service party!
Hot Take:
In a plot twist that could make even the most serious hacker chuckle, CISA has decided to hand the baton of Siemens product vulnerability updates to Siemens themselves. It’s like telling your tech-savvy younger sibling, “You’re in charge now, don’t break anything!” With this new delegation, Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories becomes the go-to place for anyone wishing to keep their devices from becoming the next target of a cyber love tap. Let’s hope Siemens is ready for the task, because when it comes to cybersecurity, ignorance is bliss until it isn’t!

- CISA will no longer update ICS security advisories for Siemens products after the initial advisory.
- Vulnerability CVE-2024-23814 can cause a denial-of-service condition through ICMP service exploitation.
- The affected Siemens products span across multiple lines, including SIMOCODE, SIMATIC, and SIPLUS.
