SSA-847261: Multiple SPP File Parsing Vulnerabilities in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation

Publication Date:	2023-02-14
Last Update:	2023-03-14
Current Version:	V1.1
CVSS v3.1 Base Score:	7.8

SUMMARY

Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation has released an update, 2201 Update 6, that fixes multiple vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the application reads SPP files. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file using the affected application, this could lead to a crash, and potentially also to arbitrary code execution on the target host system.

Siemens recommends to update to the latest version and to avoid opening of untrusted files from unknown sources.

AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND SOLUTION

Tecnomatix Plant Simulation All versions < V2201.0006	Update to V2201.0006 or later version https://support.sw.siemens.com/ See further recommendations from section Workarounds and Mitigations

WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations that customers can apply to reduce the risk:

Do not open untrusted SPP files from unknown sources

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

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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Tecnomatix Plant Simulation allows you to model, simulate, explore and optimize logistics systems and their processes. These models enable analysis of material flow, resource utilization and logistics for all levels of manufacturing planning from global production facilities to local plants and specific lines, well in advance of production execution.

VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION

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/.
