CVSS v3 5.9
ATTENTION: Remotely exploitable
Vendor: Siemens
Equipment: SIMATIC Industrial PCs
Vulnerability: Cryptographic Issues
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
Siemens reports that the vulnerability affects the following versions of
SIMATIC Industrial PCs using a version of Infineon's Trusted Platform
Module (TPM):
SIMATIC Field-PG M5 all versions prior to v22.01.04,
SIMATIC IPC227E all versions prior to v20.01.10,
SIMATIC IPC277E all versions prior to v20.01.10,
SIMATIC IPC427E all versions prior to v21.01.07,
SIMATIC IPC477E all versions prior to v21.01.07,
SIMATIC IPC547G all versions prior to R1.21.0, and
SIMATIC ITP1000 all versions prior to v23.01.03
IMPACT
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could make it easier for
attackers to conduct cryptographic attacks against the key material.
MITIGATION
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect
network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to run the
devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens particularly recommends to
configure the environment according to Siemens' Operational Guidelines
for Industrial Security and to follow the recommendations in the product
manuals. The Operational Guidelines for Industrial Security can be found at:

NCCIC recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. 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.
NCCIC reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
NCCIC 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 NCCIC Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies, that is available for download from the ICS-CERT website.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow
their established internal procedures and report their findings to NCCIC
for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability. High
skill level is needed to exploit.
VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
CRYPTOGRAPHIC ISSUES CWE-310
