CISA URGES CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO PATCH URGENT ICS VULNERABILITIES

News 12 Jan 2024

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has urged
critical infrastructure organizations to address vulnerabilities affecting nine
industrial control systems (ICS) products.

The report, dated January 11, 2024, highlighted a series of high and critical
severity vulnerabilities in products widely used in sectors like energy,
manufacturing and transportation.

Users and administrators in these sectors are encouraged to review the
advisories for technical details and mitigations.


RAPID SOFTWARE LLC RAPID SCADA – CVSS 9.6 (CRITICAL)

Impacting a Rapid Software product used in the energy and transportation sectors
are seven vulnerabilities that could result in threat actors targeting
organizations in a variety of ways.

These include reading sensitive files from the Rapid Scada server, writing files
to the Rapid Scada directory to achieve code execution and gaining access to
sensitive systems via legitimate-seeming phishing attacks.

CISA said that Rapid Software did not respond to its attempts at coordination.
Users of Rapid SCADA are encouraged to contact Rapid Software and keep their
systems up to date.


HORNER AUTOMATION CSCAPE – CVSS 7.8 (HIGH)

This stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affects the Cscape product
versions 9.90 SP10 and prior, which are used by critical manufacturing firms.

There is a low attack complexity, and successful exploitation can enable
attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Customers are urged to apply v9.90 SP11 or the latest version of the Cscape
software to mitigate this vulnerability.


SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC EASERGY STUDIO – CVSS 7.8 (HIGH)

This deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability affects Easergy Studio
versions prior to v9.3.5, a power relay protection control software used by
energy companies worldwide.

Successful exploitation can allow a threat actor to gain full control of a
workstation.

It has a low attack complexity, and users should apply v9.3.6, which contains a
fix for the vulnerability.

SIEMENS TEAMCENTER VISUALIZATION AND JT2GO – CVSS 7.8 (HIGH)

These four vulnerabilities affect two Siemens products used in the critical
manufacturing industry.

They facilitate out-of-bounds read, NULL pointer deference and stack-based
buffer overflow exploits.

Customers are urged to update JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization products to the
latest software to mitigate these risks. Users are also recommended to avoid
opening untrusted CGM files in the two products.


SIEMENS SPECTRUM POWER 7 – CVSS 7.8 (HIGH)

Affecting all Spectrum Power 7 versions prior to V23Q4, this incorrect
permission assignment for critical resource vulnerability can allow an
authenticated local attacker to inject arbitrary code and gain root access.
There is a low attack complexity.

Critical manufacturing firms using this product are recommended to update to
V23Q4 or a later version to mitigate the risk posed.


SIEMENS SICAM A8000 – CVSS 6.6 (MEDIUM)

This vulnerability can allow an authenticated remote attacker to inject commands
that are executed on the device with root privileges during device startup.

It impacts the Siemens products CP-8031 MASTER MODULE (6MF2803-1AA00) and
CP-8050 MASTER MODULE (6MF2805-0AA00) versions prior to CPCI85 V05.20.

Siemens has informed critical manufacturing customers of several workarounds and
mitigations that can reduce the risk.

These mitigations include reviewing the users that have permission to modify the
network configuration and apply strong passwords and updating products to CPCI85
V05.20 or later version.


SIEMENS SIMATIC CN 4100 – CVSS 9.8 (CRITICAL)

These three vulnerabilities are exploitable remotely and has a low attack
complexity.

Impacting versions prior to V2.7, they enable authorization bypass through
user-controlled key, improper input validation and use of default credentials.

Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to remotely login as root or cause
denial of service condition of the device.

SIMATIC CN 4100 customers in the critical manufacturing industry should update
to V2.7 or later version. 


SIEMENS SIMATIC – CVSS 10 (CRITICAL)

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability, which affect several SIMATIC
products with maxView Storage Manager on Windows, can enable attackers to obtain
remote unauthorized access.

Critical manufacturing firms using SIMATIC IPC647E, SIMATIC IPC847E and SIMATIC
IPC1047E should update maxView Storage Manager to V4.14.00.26068 or later
version to mitigate the risk.


SIEMENS SOLID EDGE – CVSS 7.8 (HIGH)

All versions prior to V223.0 Update 10 are at risk of heap-based buffer
overflow, out of bounds write, stack-based buffer overflow and access of
uninitialized pointer while parsing specially crafted PAR files through 11
vulnerabilities.

These vulnerabilities can enable an attacker to execute code in the context of
the current process, with a low attack complexity.

Siemens have urged critical manufacturing customers to update to V223.0 Update
10 or later version and avoid opening untrusted files from unknown sources in
Solid Edge.


ESSENTIAL CYBERSECURITY PRACTICES FOR ICS SYSTEMS

CISA also provided the following advice to critical infrastructure organizations
using ICS:

 * Keep systems up-to-date with new updates
 * Minimize network exposure for all control system devices
 * Isolate control system networks from business networks
 * Use secure methods, such as virtual private networks (VPNs) when remote
   access is required

CISA added that it will no longer be updating ICS security advisories for
Siemens product vulnerabilities as of January 10, 2024, beyond the initial
advisory.
