Siemens Security Snafu: Beware the RUGGEDCOM Ruckus!
Siemens’ RUGGEDCOM APE1808 has a cross-site scripting vulnerability that could turn an unsuspecting user’s browser into a JavaScript jamboree. CISA advises disabling Clientless VPN and keeping firewalls handy. For the freshest security scoop, turn to Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories.
Hot Take:
Siemens and CISA are playing cybersecurity tag, and Siemens just yelled, “Not it!” As CISA bids adieu to updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities beyond the initial advisory, it’s time for Siemens to grab the cybersecurity baton. No pressure, Siemens, just a little thing called global cybersecurity at stake.
Key Points:
– CISA will no longer update ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities post-initial advisory.
– Siemens RUGGEDCOM APE1808 is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
– Exploitation allows malicious JavaScript execution in Captive Portal users’ browsers via crafted links.
– Siemens recommends disabling Clientless VPN and contacting support for patches.
– CISA emphasizes minimizing network exposure and using secure remote access methods like VPNs.
