Hot Take:

Looks like Siemens’ TIA Portal and SIMATIC STEP 7 are in the hot seat, and CISA is passing the ball back to Siemens for future updates. It’s like a relay race, but with vulnerabilities. Better update that software before your automation starts acting like a rebellious teenager!

Key Points:

  • Siemens’ TIA Portal and SIMATIC STEP 7 have a deserialization vulnerability.
  • CISA will no longer update ICS security advisories for these products.
  • Vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.
  • Siemens suggests updating to V18 Update 2 or later versions.
  • Mitigation includes securing network access and avoiding untrusted devices.
