Please follow the "General Security Recommendations". Product specific mitigations can be found in the section "Affected Products and Solution". 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 =================== Products of the SIMATIC Drive Controller family have been designed for the automation of production machines, combining the functionality of a SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU and a SINAMICS S120 drive control. Products of the SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU and SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU families have been designed for discrete and continuous control in industrial environments such as manufacturing, food and beverages, and chemical industries worldwide. SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller is a SIMATIC software controller for PC-based automation solutions. SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced simulates S7-1200, S7-1500 and a few other PLC derivatives. Includes full network access to simulate the PLCs, even in virtualized environments. SIPLUS extreme products are designed for reliable operation under extreme conditions and are based on SIMATIC, LOGO!, SITOP, SINAMICS, SIMOTION, SCALANCE or other devices. SIPLUS devices use the same firmware as the product they are based on. TIM 1531 IRC is a communication module for SIMATIC S7-1500, S7-400, S7-300 with SINAUT ST7, DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-101/104 with three RJ45 interfaces for communication via IP-based networks (WAN / LAN) and a RS 232/RS 485 interface for communication via classic WAN networks. 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-2020-28397 Due to an incorrect authorization check in the affected component, an attacker could extract information about access protected PLC program variables over port 102/tcp from an affected device when reading multiple attributes at once. 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-863: Incorrect Authorization ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ====================== This vulnerability has been discovered internally by Siemens.
