Siemens Security Snafu: Unleashing Chaos with Hard-Coded Keys & DoS Delights!

Siemens’ gadgets have a case of ‘hard-coded key-itis’—it’s like having one password for everything (and forgetting it). Exploitable remotely with a CVSS v4 score of 5.1, it’s time to firewall-up and VPN-in, folks! #SiemensProductVulnerabilities

Hot Take:

It seems Siemens is putting the 'hard' in 'hard-coded cryptographic keys', and by 'hard', I mean 'easy for hackers'. And if you thought your SCALANCE was just a fancy paperweight, wait till an attacker decides to test the 'Uncontrolled Resource Consumption' vulnerability. Who needs a denial-of-service attack when your device can deny service all by itself, right?
