Siemens Security Slip: Unpatched Vulnerabilities Leave Systems Exposed!
Siemens security advisories just got a little more DIY, as CISA steps back from updates. If your Siemens product vulnerability information feels out-of-date, it’s time to check Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories. Remember, the best way to avoid an unexpected denial-of-service is to stay informed.
Hot Take:
Move over, superhero capes and utility belts; Siemens’ vulnerabilities have entered the spotlight. CISA has decided to retire from updating their ICS security advisories for Siemens products, leaving us with the brilliantly named “ProductCERT Security Advisories” from Siemens. Who needs the excitement of a new advisory when you can get all your thrills from a static post?
Key Points:
- Starting January 10, 2023, CISA halts updates on ICS security advisories for Siemens products.
- Vulnerabilities involve out-of-bounds read and write issues, making them remotely exploitable.
- Siemens products like SIMATIC PCS neo and TIA Portal are affected.
- Mitigation strategies include blocking certain TCP ports and updating UMC to version V2.15.1.1.
- No reported public exploitation of these vulnerabilities yet, but CISA advocates for cautious cyber practices.
