Hot Take:

In a surprising twist, CISA has decided to give Siemens product vulnerabilities the cold shoulder, leaving the task of staying updated to Siemens themselves. This is like outsourcing your homework to a classmate who may or may not be more diligent than you. But hey, at least it’s not a remote exploit, so no need to panic—yet! Just imagine a burglar needing an invitation and a map to your house. Convenience at its finest, right?

Key Points:

– CISA stops updating Siemens product vulnerabilities after initial advisory.
– Vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution via DLL hijacking.
– Siemens Software Center and Solid Edge are affected.
– Mitigations include securing network access and using VPNs.
– No known public exploitation has been reported.
