Siemens SCALANCE Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used By a Downstream Component (CVE-2022-36323)

critical Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 500742

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

Affected devices do not properly sanitize an input field. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker with administrative privileges to inject code or spawn a system root shell.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.

Solution

The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original can be found at CISA.gov.

Siemens has provided software patches for the following vulnerable products:

- For product versions prior to V7.1.2 update to V7.1.2 or later
- For product versions prior to V2.3.1 update to V2.3.1 or later

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations to reduce the risk:

- Apply the principle of least privileges for accounts configured on the affected devices
- Restrict network access in affected systems to ports 80/TCP and 443/TCP to trusted IP addresses and personal only.

As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends protecting network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends users configure the environment according to the Siemens operational guidelines for industrial security and follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
