SSA-312271: Unquoted Search Path Vulnerability in Windows-based Industrial Software Applications
Notes
Summary
Several industrial products as listed below contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability that could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYTEM privileges.
Siemens has released updates for the affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions.
General 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.
