Siemens Security Alert: Temporary File Vulnerability Could Disrupt Updates – Update Now!

CISA will stop updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities after January 10, 2023. For the latest information, visit Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories.

Hot Take:

Ah, Siemens TIA Administrator: the Achilles’ heel of the critical manufacturing sector, where a poorly placed temporary file can cause as much havoc as a bull in a china shop. CISA’s decision to hand over the updating baton to Siemens feels like passing a hot potato during a game of cybersecurity dodgeball.

Key Points:

  • Siemens TIA Administrator has a vulnerability involving insecure temporary file creation.
  • All versions prior to V3 SP2 are affected.
  • Risk: Low attack complexity but requires authenticated access.
  • Mitigation: Update to V3 SP2 or later and follow Siemens’ security guidelines.
  • Public exploitation: None reported yet.
