Siemens Security Slip-Up: SINEC NMS Vulnerabilities Exposed!
Siemens SINEC NMS is having a bad hair day with vulnerabilities like SQL injection and path traversal. CISA won’t update their advisories post-January 2023, so check Siemens’ ProductCERT for the latest scoop. In the meantime, update to V4.0 and keep hackers at bay by following Siemens’ security guidelines.
Hot Take:
So, Siemens has a few skeletons in the closet, and CISA decided to stop dusting them off! As of January 10, 2023, CISA is leaving Siemens to fend for itself in the vulnerability jungle. Siemens’ SINEC NMS might as well be renamed “SINEC-ure,” considering the vulnerabilities ready to be exploited. But fear not, Siemens is on it with updates and patches, as long as you’re not living in the past (a.k.a. using versions before V4.0). Just remember, when dealing with SQL injections, missing authentications, and path traversals, it’s best to bring more than a spoon to a knife fight!
Key Points:
- Siemens’ SINEC NMS has multiple vulnerabilities, including SQL injection and missing authentication.
- CISA is stepping back from updating Siemens security advisories after the initial release.
- Vulnerabilities could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code and elevate privileges.
- Siemens recommends updating to SINEC NMS V4.0 or later to mitigate risks.
- Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative coordinated the vulnerability reports with Siemens.
