Siemens Security Snafu: Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability Raises Eyebrows! 🚨

CISA will stop updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities as of January 10, 2023. Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories will provide the latest updates. The Tecnomatix Plant Simulation has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could let attackers execute code. Keep your WRL files trusted or your simulations might take an unexpected turn!

Hot Take:

Looks like Siemens is playing the “Catch Me If You Can” game with vulnerabilities, and CISA just threw in the towel! From now on, Siemens security updates are as rare as a unicorn sighting unless you go directly to the source. Just be sure to bring your decoder ring when reading their advisories!

Key Points:

– CISA will no longer update Siemens’ ICS security advisories beyond initial notice.
– Siemens’ Tecnomatix Plant Simulation has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability.
– The vulnerability could allow code execution in the current process.
– Affected versions are prior to Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2404.0013.
– Mitigations include updating software and avoiding untrusted WRL files.
