Vendor and ecosystem advisories describing this.

  • SSA-856721SSA-856721: Vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM Discovery Protocol (RCDP) of Industrial Communication Devices2017-09-28csaf · siemens_psirtDE

    The RUGGEDCOM RCDP protocol is not properly configured after commissioning of RUGGEDCOM ROS based devices and some SCALANCE X switch models and could allow unauthenticated remote users to perform administrative operations. An attacker must be in the same adjacent network and the RCDP daemon must be enabled in order to exploit the vulnerability. Siemens has released new versions for the affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions.
