Siemens SIPORT Security Flaw: The Permission Slip That Keeps On Giving!
Siemens SIPORT users, beware: incorrect permission assignment could let a local attacker transform into a digital Houdini, escaping their unprivileged status to wreak havoc. Update to V3.4.0 to avoid this magic trick. For detailed security advice, consult Siemens ProductCERT Security Advisories and remember, firewalls are your network’s best friend!
Hot Take:
Siemens and CISA are having a little relationship spat, and it seems CISA is breaking up with Siemens’ ICS security advisories. But don’t worry, Siemens is still sending love notes in the form of vulnerability updates on their own website. Just remember, if you’re looking for the latest gossip on Siemens’ vulnerabilities, it’s now a “Siemens exclusive.”
Key Points:
– CISA will no longer update ICS security advisories for Siemens vulnerabilities beyond the initial alert.
– The Siemens SIPORT, versions before V3.4.0, are affected by a permission assignment vulnerability.
– This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges.
– Siemens recommends updating to version V3.4.0 and implementing specific mitigations.
– CISA suggests defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation.
