SUMMARY
=======

SICAM A8000 CP-8050 and CP-8031 devices contain vulnerabilities that
could allow an attacker to access files without authentication.

Siemens has released updates for the affected products and recommends to
update to the latest versions.

WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS
===========================


Product specific remediations or mitigations can be found in the section
"Affected Products and Solution".

Please follow the "General Security Recommendations".


GENERAL SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS
================================

Operators of critical power systems (e.g. TSOs or DSOs) worldwide are
usually required by regulations to build resilience into the power grids
by applying multi-level redundant secondary protection schemes. It is
therefore recommended that the operators check whether appropriate
resilient protection measures are in place. The risk of cyber incidents
impacting the grid's reliability can thus be minimized by virtue of the
grid design.

Siemens strongly recommends applying the provided security updates using
the corresponding tooling and documented procedures made available with
the product. If supported by the product, an automated means to apply
the security updates across multiple product instances may be used.
Siemens strongly recommends prior validation of any security update
before being applied, and supervision by trained staff of the update
process in the target environment.

As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends to protect
network access with appropriate mechanisms (e.g. firewalls,
segmentation, VPN). It is advised to configure the environment according
to our operational guidelines in order to run the devices in a protected
IT environment.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
===================

The SICAM A8000 RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) series is a modular device
range for telecontrol and automation applications in all areas of energy
supply.

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/.



* Vulnerability CVE-2022-27480

  Affected devices do not require an user to be authenticated to access
  certain files. This could allow unauthenticated attackers to download
  these files.

  CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 5.3
  CVSS Vector:          CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C
  CWE:                  CWE-862: Missing Authorization


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
===============

Siemens thanks the following parties for their efforts:

   * Steffen Robertz, Gerhard Hechenberger, and Thomas Weber from SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab for coordinated disclosure of the vulnerability
