CVSS v3 7.4
ATTENTION: Remotely exploitable/low skill level to exploit.
Vendor: Siemens
Equipment: OZW672 and OZW772
Vulnerabilities: Missing Authentication
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
Siemens reports that the vulnerability affects the following OZW672 and OZW772
devices for monitoring building controller devices:
OZW672: All versions, and
OZW772: All versions.
IMPACT
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to read
and write historical measurement data under certain conditions, or to read and
modify data in TLS sessions.
MITIGATION
Siemens recommends applying the following mitigations:
Protect network access to the affected devices.
Disable integrated service on Port 21/TCP in the device settings by changing
the value of ACS access under Settings > Communication > Services to Off.
Applying this configuration change mitigates CVE-2017-6872 entirely.
Use the web portal as described in the product documentation for all
applications; Connections to the web portal are not affected by CVE-2017-6873.
If use of web portal is not possible, then use the integrated web server only
in trusted networks.
For more information on this vulnerability and more detailed mitigation
instructions, please see Siemens Security Advisory SSA-563539 at the following

NCCIC/ICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize the
risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and
ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and
isolate them from the business network.
When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be
updated to the most current version available. Also recognize that VPN is only
as secure as the connected devices.
ICS-CERT reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
ICS-CERT also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are
available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control
Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly
available in the ICSCERT Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies, that is available for download from the ICS-CERT web site.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to ICS-CERT for
tracking and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
