Comment: While most of these vulnerabilities have been addressed in a patch 
         by the vendor, at the time of this advisory's publication one 
         vulnerability remains unpatched. The vendor has provided steps to 
         mitigate the outstanding vulnerability.

OVERVIEW

        Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Siemens SIMATIC 
        WinCC version 7.0 SP3.
        
        The vendor describes the WebNavigator component of WinCC as giving 
        "... the users the possibility to control their plants via the web 
        browser with the same look-and-feel like local operator stations." [1]


IMPACT

        The vendor has provided the following description regarding these 
        vulnerabilities:
        
        "WinCC WebNavigator is susceptible to twelve vulnerabilities, which
        compromise (depending on the vulnerability) the confidentiality, 
        integrity or availability of the affected system over the network. 
        WebNavigator is part of WinCC 7.0." [1]
        
        Reflected cross site scripting and cross site request forgery 
        vulnerabilities may allow the attacker to take over the WebNavigator
        session with the victim’s rights. Additionally arbitrary files and 
        database content may be accessible to a remote, unauthenticated
        web user.


MITIGATION

        Siemens provides an update for WinCC 7.0 SP3 which addresses most 
        vulnerabilities discussed in this bulletin. However the cross site 
        request forgery vulnerability remains unpatched, and Siemens 
        recommends the following mitgations:
        
        1. Do not interact with other internet related services whilst
        logged in to WebNavigator.
        2. Log out when WebNavigator is no longer needed.
