SQL Injection Alert: Siemens SINEC NMS Vulnerability – Patch Now or Face the Data Music!
CISA is done updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities—think of it as an early retirement plan for advisories. For updates, check Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories. Siemens’ SINEC NMS had a vulnerability that could allow for a low-privileged attacker to escalate privileges through SQL injection. Time to update to V4.0 SP1!
Hot Take:
Well, folks, it seems CISA has decided to take a break from its role as the ultimate Siemens vulnerability updater. Now, Siemens’ ProductCERT has to carry that torch. With a vulnerability that sounds like it could start its own cult (SQL Injection) lurking in SINEC NMS, it’s like playing ‘Whack-A-Mole’ with hackers. Grab your digital fly swatters, update those systems, and maybe—just maybe—don’t let your industrial control systems access TikTok.
Key Points:
– Siemens’ SINEC NMS is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.
– Affected versions are prior to V4.0 SP1.
– Attackers require low privileges and low complexity to exploit.
– Siemens recommends updating to V4.0 SP1 for mitigation.
– CISA is stepping back from updating these advisories beyond the initial alert.
