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. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity PRODUCT DESCRIPTION =================== SIMATIC PCS 7 is a distributed control system (DCS) integrating SIMATIC WinCC, SIMATIC Batch, SIMATIC Route Control, OpenPCS7 and other components. SIMATIC WinCC is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional is a visualization runtime platform used for operator control and monitoring of machines and plants. 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-2022-24287 An authenticated attacker could escape the WinCC Kiosk Mode by opening the printer dialog in the affected application in case no printer is installed. CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C CWE: CWE-1188: Insecure Default Initialization of Resource ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ====================== For further inquiries on security vulnerabilities in Siemens products and solutions, please contact the Siemens ProductCERT: https://www.siemens.com/cert/advisories HISTORY DATA ============ V1.0 (2022-05-10): Publication Date V1.1 (2022-06-14): Updated fix for SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.1 and added fix for SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V17 TERMS OF USE ============ Siemens Security Advisories are subject to the terms and conditions contained in Siemens' underlying license terms or other applicable agreements previously agreed to with Siemens (hereinafter "License Terms").
