Siemens Security Slip-Up: Vulnerability in SIMOTION Tools Leaves Systems at Risk
Siemens product vulnerabilities are getting the silent treatment from CISA, as updates dry up after the initial advisory. For the latest scoop, head to Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories. Meanwhile, watch out for local hackers with a penchant for SYSTEM privileges—this vulnerability’s got a CVSS score of 8.1!
Hot Take:
It looks like Siemens’ SIMOTION tools are having a bit of an identity crisis with their vulnerability. The good news is, they’re not alone—they’ve got CISA to keep them company, at least until the first advisory. After that, Siemens is taking the wheel to their own ProductCERT Security Advisories. It’s like a game of tag—you’re it, Siemens! But don’t worry, CISA is leaving us with enough cyber wisdom to keep our systems as safe as a digital Fort Knox, assuming you’ve got the firewall for it.
Key Points:
– CISA will cease updating ICS security advisories for Siemens vulnerabilities post-initial advisory.
– Affected Siemens products include SIMOTION Tools with potential local exploitation.
– Vulnerability CVE-2025-43715 can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
– Siemens suggests no fix yet but recommends ensuring no unknown programs are running during installation.
– CISA advises on minimizing network exposure and using secure methods like VPNs.
