Summary
SSA-339694: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Spectrum Power 4 Before v4.70 SP12 Security Patch 2

Notes

Summary
Spectrum Power 4 before v4.70 SP12 Security Patch 2 contains multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to remotely execute code as application administrator or locally execute code as operating system administrator. Siemens has released a new version for Spectrum Power 4 and recommends to update to the latest version.
General 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.
