  • If possible, avoid the use of RSA based certificates in TLS communication and use ECC based certificates instead

Product-specific remediations or mitigations can be found in the section Affected Products and Solution.
Please follow the General Security Recommendations.

As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity

Un-/Collapse All

The vulnerability classification has been performed by using the CVSS scoring system in version 3.1 (CVSS v3.1) (https://www.first.org/cvss/). The CVSS environmental score is specific to the customer’s environment and will impact the overall CVSS score. The environmental score should therefore be individually defined by the customer to accomplish final scoring.

An additional classification has been performed using the CWE classification, a community-developed list of common software security weaknesses. This serves as a common language and as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts. A detailed list of CWE classes can be found at: https://cwe.mitre.org/.

CVSS v3.1 Base Score 5.9
CVSS v3.1 Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C
CWE CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength

For SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs, S7-1200 CPUs, Drive Controller CPUs, S7-1500 Software Controller, and ET200 SP Open Controller CPUs:

  • In default configuration only OPC-UA interfaces are affected, as RSA certificates are created.
  • Other interfaces (Web service and secure PG/PC and HMI communication) use ECC certificates by default.

Refer to the OpenSSL advisory (https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230207.txt) for further details regarding the vulnerability CVE-2022-4304.
