Siemens Security Blunder: Guest Users Can Outshine Admins!
Siemens product vulnerabilities are no laughing matter, but if you’re stuck on version 3.1, it might be time for an upgrade. CISA won’t be updating Siemens ICS security advisories, so keep your eyes on Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories for the latest news. After all, you don’t want your network to be an open door marked “guest.”
Hot Take:
Well, it seems Siemens’ SCALANCE and RUGGEDCOM products have joined the elite club of “Oops, there’s a hole in our security!” vulnerabilities. But don’t worry, the “guest” role isn’t just for spectating anymore – it’s now your VIP pass to unauthorized fun. Meanwhile, CISA has decided to hang up its advisory hat for Siemens, leaving the updates to Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories. So, if you’re in the critical infrastructure sector, maybe it’s time to brush up on those race conditions and authorization checks. Game on!
Key Points:
- Siemens’ SCALANCE and RUGGEDCOM products have vulnerabilities allowing unauthorized actions.
- CISA stops updating ICS advisories for Siemens after the initial advisory.
- Vulnerabilities include incorrect authorization and race conditions.
- Exploitation allows attackers to override guest role permissions.
- Mitigation requires updating affected products to version V3.2 or later.
