Siemens Security Slip: Local Exploits Lurk in License Server Vulnerabilities
Siemens’ License Server needs a security makeover! The vulnerabilities could give low-privileged users a serious promotion, allowing them to execute arbitrary code. Siemens recommends updating to the latest version to keep things secure. For the freshest insights, head over to Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories for more on Siemens product vulnerabilities.
Hot Take:
Looks like Siemens’ License Server has a few vulnerabilities that need a little TLC. If this server was a car, we’d be talking about a couple of flat tires and a rattling muffler. CISA is leaving the advisory updates to Siemens—it’s like saying, “Hey, it’s your party, you clean up the mess!” But don’t worry, you won’t be left clueless; Siemens has the map to get you through this vulnerability jungle.
Key Points:
- CISA will not update ICS security advisories for Siemens post-initial release.
- Two main vulnerabilities: Improper Privilege Management and Improper Certificate Validation.
- Low-privileged users could escalate privileges or execute arbitrary code.
- Siemens has already released a new version of the License Server.
- Mitigation strategies include network isolation and using VPNs for remote access.
