SSA-649853SSA-649853: Improper Certificate Validation Vulnerability in Industrial Edge Management2022-10-11csaf · siemens_psirtDE
Industrial Edge Management contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to spoof a trusted entity by interfering in the communication path between the Industrial Edge Management (IEM) and the Industrial Edge Hub (IEH) using a crafted certificate. An attacker could use this to inject malicious maintenance requests (e.g. sending statistics, activating remote support, exchanging the initial keys when onboarding, querying new extensions). Siemens has released an update for the Industrial Edge Management and recommends to update to the latest version.
ICSA-22-286-02Siemens Industrial Edge Management2022-10-13icsa · cisa_csaf_otUS
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to inject malicious maintenance requests by exploiting improper certification validation.
