Hot Take:

It seems Siemens products have taken up the hobby of impersonating Swiss cheese – full of holes! But don’t worry, CISA has decided to go minimalist on updates, so you can now enjoy vulnerability management the Marie Kondo way: keep only what sparks joy… or in this case, pure panic!

Key Points:

  • Siemens’ RUGGEDCOM APE1808 products have vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized command execution.
  • CISA will cease updating ICS security advisories for Siemens beyond the initial advisory.
  • The vulnerabilities include OS command injection and privilege escalation.
  • Siemens recommends only installing updates from trusted sources and securing network access.
  • No known public exploitation of these vulnerabilities has been reported yet.
