Summary
SSA-752103: Telnet Authentication Vulnerability in SINAMICS Medium Voltage Products

Notes

Summary
SINAMICS medium voltage products, with telnet enabled on SIMATIC comfort HMI Panels, are affected by a remote access vulnerability that could allow an attacker, under certain conditions, to gain full remote access to the HMI. Note that by default telnet is disabled, but it can be enabled by the system integrator on request. Siemens has released updates for the affected products, and recommends to update them to the latest version.
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. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
