SUMMARY

LOGO! V8.3 BM (incl. SIPLUS variants) devices contain a plaintext storage of a password vulnerability. This could allow an attacker with phyiscal access to an affected device to extract user-set passwords from an embedded storage IC.

Siemens has released new hardware versions with the LOGO! V8.4 BM product family for several affected devices in which the vulnerability is fixed. Siemens is working on new hardware versions for the SIPLUS devices to address this issue further. See the chapter "Additional Information" below for more details.
