Siemens Security Shocker: Update Now or Risk Your Data!
CISA will stop updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities as of January 2023. Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories will provide the latest info. Vulnerabilities in Siemens Location Intelligence include weak encryption and poor password policies, putting data and user credentials at risk. Update to V4.4 or later for protection.
Hot Take:
So, Siemens is basically telling us: “Hey, we’ve got some vulnerabilities, but don’t worry, just check our website for updates.” Meanwhile, CISA is like, “Yeah, we’re outta here, good luck!” It’s like handing a leaky boat to someone and saying, “Hope you can swim!”
Key Points:
- Siemens will not receive updated ICS security advisories from CISA post initial advisory.
- Vulnerabilities include weak encryption, poor password policies, and susceptibility to brute force attacks.
- Affected product: Siemens Location Intelligence, versions before V4.4.
- Recommended mitigations include updating software and enhancing network security.
- No known public exploitation of these vulnerabilities at the time of reporting.
