SSA-027652: Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in SINAMICS Drives

Notes

Summary
Siemens SINAMICS G220, SINAMICS S210, and SINAMICS S200 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that could allow users to escalate their privileges. Siemens has released new versions for several affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions. Siemens is preparing further fix versions and recommends countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available.
