SSA-480829: Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in SCALANCE X Switches
Notes
Summary
Two cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities were identified in the web server of several SCALANCE X switches.
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.
