Siemens Spectrum Power 7 Security Flaw: When Privilege Escalation Gets a Power Boost!

Hot Take:

Well, it looks like CISA has decided to leave Siemens to fend for themselves in the wild world of security advisories. It’s like sending your kid off to college and saying, ‘You’re on your own now, good luck with those hackers!’ It seems Siemens will now be moonlighting as both a tech giant and a cybersecurity watchdog. Watch out, hackers, Siemens is stepping up its game—well, assuming they remember to update their own advisories!

Key Points:

  • CISA will no longer update Siemens ICS security advisories beyond the initial advisory.
  • Siemens Spectrum Power 7 vulnerabilities could allow privilege escalation.
  • Critical sectors worldwide, such as manufacturing, are at risk.
  • Siemens recommends updating to Spectrum Power 7 V24Q3 or later.
  • No public exploitation of these vulnerabilities reported yet.
