Siemens Security Slip-Up: RUGGEDCOM APE1808 Vulnerabilities Exposed!
Siemens RUGGEDCOM APE1808 Devices are vulnerable to remote exploits due to insufficiently protected credentials and out-of-bounds write issues. Attackers can modify LDAP server IPs or cause denial-of-service conditions. For the latest updates, check Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories.

Hot Take:
Siemens has decided to leave the ICS security advisory party early, leaving us all to fend for ourselves with their RUGGEDCOM APE1808 devices. CISA is stepping back, and Siemens wants you to check out their own cybersecurity version of Netflix—Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories. Maybe they’re hoping we’ll all become cybersecurity experts in our spare time. Who needs TV dramas when you’ve got CVSS scores, right?
Key Points:
- Siemens’ RUGGEDCOM APE1808 devices have vulnerabilities that could be exploited remotely.
- CISA will stop updating ICS security advisories for Siemens products after the initial advisory.
- Vulnerabilities include insufficiently protected credentials and out-of-bounds write.
- Exploitation could lead to LDAP credential theft or denial-of-service conditions.
- Siemens provides mitigation guidance, but it’s up to you to stay updated via Siemens’ ProductCERT advisories.
