Siemens Security Slip-Up: Remote Exploits Put SIMATIC S7-1200 Controllers at Risk!
CISA has pressed pause on updating Siemens product vulnerability advisories, leaving the latest plot twists to Siemens ProductCERT Security Advisories. Keep an eye on SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU vulnerabilities, where improper input validation and authentication bypass are headlining. Remember, even robots need TLC—tender loving cybersecurity!
Hot Take:
So, Siemens’ industrial controllers have vulnerabilities that could make them more open to attacks than your grandma’s cookie jar. While CISA is passing the torch to Siemens for updates, it seems the SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU has taken a crash course in “How to Stop Functioning 101.” Let’s hope Siemens’ new updates are as strong as German engineering stereotypes suggest!
Key Points:
- CISA will no longer update ICS security advisories for Siemens products beyond initial advisories.
- Vulnerabilities include improper input validation and authentication bypass via capture-replay attacks.
- Siemens’ SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs are particularly vulnerable, with CVSS scores up to 8.7.
- Siemens recommends disabling web servers and updating to new software versions as mitigations.
- No public exploitation of these vulnerabilities has been reported yet, but caution is advised.
