4.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

4.2.1    MISSING AUTHORIZATION CWE-862

Affected Siemens SCALANCE and RUGGEDCOM devices of versions prior to V7.1.2 do not properly authorize the change password function of the web interface. This could allow low privileged users to escalate their privileges.

CVE-2022-31765 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

4.3 BACKGROUND

  • CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Multiple
  • COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide
  • COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Germany

4.4 RESEARCHER

Martin Grubhofer and Michael Messner from Siemens Energy reported these vulnerabilities to Siemens.

5. MITIGATIONS

Siemens recommends users apply the following mitigations:

  • Update affected devices to the latest versions. Siemens’ security advisory, SSA-552702, demonstrates which devices have updates available
  • Use access control lists (ACLs) to restrict access to the device web server
  • Restrict access to the device web server ports (default 443/TCP or 80/TCP) to trusted networks and client IP addresses

As a general security measure, Siemens recommends protecting network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. To operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends configuring the environment according to Siemens’ operational guidelines for industrial security and following recommendations in the product manuals.

Additional information on industrial security by Siemens can be found on the Siemens industrial security webpage.

For more information, see SSA-552702 in HTML or CSAF formats.

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:

  • Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the Internet.
  • Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks.
  • When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as its connected devices.

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
