Siemens Security Snafu: RUGGEDCOM Vulnerability Sparks Cybersecurity Concerns Worldwide
Siemens ProductCERT Security Advisories now steal the spotlight for Siemens product vulnerabilities, as CISA exits stage left. The Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX II Family faces a CVSS v4 5.1 vulnerability, exploitable by attackers who can sneak in like party crashers with high-level web access. Keep your defenses up, folks!
Hot Take:
Siemens products are apparently so inviting, even cyber attackers want to upload their vacation photos. With CISA cutting ties on updates, it’s a little like saying “you’re on your own, buddy!” to anyone still using these RUGGEDCOM devices. Perhaps it’s time for Siemens to create an “Upload Your Worries Here” hotline for IT managers.
Key Points:
– Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX II Family devices have a vulnerability allowing file uploads by highly privileged users.
– CISA will no longer update advisories for Siemens vulnerabilities after the initial alert.
– The vulnerability could be exploited remotely with low complexity, but requires a privileged account.
– Siemens has no fix yet, but recommends restricting web interface access.
– No known public exploitation of this vulnerability has been reported.
