C:H/I:N/A:N ).
3.2.2 MISSING AUTHENTICATION FOR CRITICAL FUNCTION CWE-306
An attacker with access to the device's web server might be able to execute
administrative commands without authentication.
CVE-2020-10038 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (A V:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.3 MISSING ENCRYPTION OF SENSITIVE DATA CWE-311
An attacker in a privileged network position between a legitimate user and the
web server might be able to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack and gain read
and write access to the transmitted data.
CVE-2020-10039 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.4 USE OF PASSWORD HASH WITH INSUFFICIENT COMPUTATIONAL EFFORT CWE-916
An attacker with local access to the device might be able to retrieve passwords
in clear text.
CVE-2020-10040 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
6.2 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:N/A:N ).
3.2.5 IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF INPUT DURING WEB PAGE GENERATION ('CROSS-SITE
SCRIPTING) CWE-79
A stored cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability is present in different
locations of the web application. An attacker might be able to take over a
session of a legitimate user.
CVE-2020-10041 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.6 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.6 BUFFER COPY WITHOUT CHECKING SIZE OF INPUT ('CLASSIC BUFFER OVERFLOW')
CWE-120
A buffer overflow in various positions of the web application might enable an
attacker with access to the web application to execute arbitrary code over the
network.
CVE-2020-10042 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.7 IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF SCRIPT-RELATED HTML TAGS IN A WEB PAGE (BASIC
XSS) CWE-80
The web server could allow cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks if unsuspecting
users are tricked into accessing a malicious link.
CVE-2020-10043 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/
C:L/I:H/A:L ).
3.2.8 MISSING AUTHENTICATION FOR A CRITICAL FUNCTION CWE-306
An attacker with access to the network could be able to install specially
crafted firmware on the device.
CVE-2020-10044 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.9 AUTHENTICATION BYPASS BY CAPTURE-REPLAY CWE-294
An error in the challenge-response procedure could allow an attacker to replay
authentication traffic and gain access to protected areas of the web
application.
CVE-2020-10045 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
8.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/

4. MITIGATIONS
Siemens recommends applying updates, where available:
o SICAM MMU: Update to v2.05
o SICAM SGU: For RTU applications, upgrade the discontinued SICAM SGU devices
to SICAM A8000 RTUs.
o SICAM T: Update to v2.18
Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations that
users can apply to reduce the risk:
o The firmware updates to SICAM T and SICAM MMU introduce authentication to
the web application and remove some unnecessary functionality. The web
authentication functionality reduces the risk of access to the device's web
application for executing administrative commands by unauthenticated users.
o Due to hardware constraints, encryption is not possible on the devices.
Confidential data such as passwords handled by the devices need to be
protected on the network by other means, e.g., by VPN.
o The risk for remote code execution and unauthenticated firmware
installation can be mitigated by ensuring encryption and authentication
between the user and the device, e.g., by VPN.
o Use a modern and up to date browser.
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 configuring the environment
according to the Siemens operational guidelines for Industrial Security and
following the recommendations in the product manuals.
