Siemens Security Alert: Temporary File Vulnerability Could Disrupt Updates – Update Now!
CISA will stop updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities after January 10, 2023. For the latest information, visit Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories.
Hot Take:
Ah, Siemens TIA Administrator: the Achilles’ heel of the critical manufacturing sector, where a poorly placed temporary file can cause as much havoc as a bull in a china shop. CISA’s decision to hand over the updating baton to Siemens feels like passing a hot potato during a game of cybersecurity dodgeball.
Key Points:
- Siemens TIA Administrator has a vulnerability involving insecure temporary file creation.
- All versions prior to V3 SP2 are affected.
- Risk: Low attack complexity but requires authenticated access.
- Mitigation: Update to V3 SP2 or later and follow Siemens’ security guidelines.
- Public exploitation: None reported yet.
