Siemens Desigo CC

All CISA Advisories

Overview

Siemens has issued a warning about a serious vulnerability affecting its Desigo CC product family, which includes versions V7, V8, and V9 prior to 9.0.1. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-15467, can be exploited by remote attackers to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, potentially leading to denial of service or even remote code execution. The risk arises when parsing certain CMS messages with maliciously crafted parameters. Siemens has released updates for some affected versions and is advising users to upgrade to the latest versions. For those unable to update immediately, Siemens suggests implementing additional security measures to mitigate the risk. This vulnerability is particularly concerning given the critical infrastructure sectors affected, as these systems are essential for operations worldwide.

Key Takeaways

  • Affected Systems: Siemens Desigo CC family V7, V8, V9 (versions < 9.0.1), OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, and 3.0
  • Action Required: Update to V9.
  • Timeline: Newly disclosed

Original Article Summary

View CSAF Summary OpenSSL has published a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) or potentially allow for remote code execution. Siemens has released new versions for several affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions. Siemens is preparing further fix versions and recommends countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available. The following versions of Siemens Desigo CC are affected: Desigo CC family V7 vers:all/* (CVE-2025-15467) Desigo CC family V8 vers:all/* (CVE-2025-15467) Desigo CC family V9 vers:intdot/<9.0.1 (CVE-2025-15467) CVSS Vendor Equipment Vulnerabilities v3 9.8 Siemens Siemens Desigo CC Out-of-bounds Write Background Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Critical Manufacturing Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide Company Headquarters Location: Germany Vulnerabilities Expand All + CVE-2025-15467 Issue summary: Parsing CMS AuthEnvelopedData message with maliciously crafted AEAD parameters can trigger a stack buffer overflow. Impact summary: A stack buffer overflow may lead to a crash, causing Denial of Service, or potentially remote code execution. When parsing CMS AuthEnvelopedData structures that use AEAD ciphers such as AES-GCM, the IV (Initialization Vector) encoded in the ASN.1 parameters is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without verifying that its length fits the destination. An attacker can supply a crafted CMS message with an oversized IV, causing a stack-based out-of-bounds write before any authentication or tag verification occurs. Applications and services that parse untrusted CMS or PKCS#7 content using AEAD ciphers (e.g., S/MIME AuthEnvelopedData with AES-GCM) are vulnerable. Because the overflow occurs prior to authentication, no valid key material is required to trigger it. While exploitability to remote code execution depends on platform and toolchain mitigations, the stack-based write primitive represents a severe risk. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the CMS implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are not affected by this issue.

General Recommendations Operators of critical power systems (e.g. TSOs or DSOs) worldwide are usually required by regulations to build resilience into the power grids by applying multi-level redundant secondary protection schemes. It is therefore recommended that the operators check whether appropriate resilient protection measures are in place. The risk of cyber incidents impacting the grid's reliability can thus be minimized by virtue of the grid design. Siemens strongly recommends applying the provided security updates using the corresponding tooling and documented procedures made available with the product. If supported by the product, an automated means to apply the security updates across multiple product instances may be used. Siemens strongly recommends prior validation of any security update before being applied, and supervision by trained staff of the update process in the target environment. As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access with appropriate mechanisms (e.g. firewalls, segmentation, VPN). It is advised to configure the environment according to our operational guidelines in order to run the devices in a protected IT environment. Recommended security guidelines can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/gridsecurity Additional Resources For further inquiries on security vulnerabilities in Siemens products and solutions, please contact the Siemens ProductCERT: https://www.siemens.com/cert/advisories Terms of Use The use of Siemens Security Advisories is subject to the terms and conditions listed on: https://www.siemens.com/productcert/terms-of-use. Legal Notice and Terms of Use This product is provided subject to this Notification (https://www.cisa.gov/notification) and this Privacy & Use policy (https://www.cisa.gov/privacy-policy). Recommended Practices CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the exploitation risk of these vulnerabilities. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most recent version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as its connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.

Claude AI Just Cracked a Post-Quantum Test Scheme and Found a Faster 7-Round AES Attack

The Hacker News

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview has successfully developed a key-recovery attack against HAWK-256, a post-quantum signature scheme. This new attack utilizes a previously unexploited symmetry in the underlying lattice structure, potentially compromising the security of systems relying on HAWK-256. Additionally, the researchers reported a significant speed increase for an attack on seven-round AES-128, achieving a 200- to 800-fold performance boost, which could make this encryption easier to break. The implementation is designed to run on a powerful 96-core server, completing in roughly three hours and 42 minutes. This advancement poses a major concern for organizations using these cryptographic methods, as it could lead to faster and more efficient attacks on sensitive data.

AI-assisted security tools are finding more bugs, but the threat level has not changed

CyberScoop

A recent analysis by VulnCheck reveals that while AI-assisted security tools are identifying more software vulnerabilities, the rate at which these flaws are being exploited remains unchanged compared to traditional vulnerabilities. This suggests that despite advancements in technology, attackers are not necessarily faster at leveraging newly discovered bugs. The findings indicate that organizations using AI tools may not see an immediate reduction in risk, as the exploitation timelines for vulnerabilities have remained consistent. As companies continue to integrate AI into their security practices, it is crucial for them to maintain vigilance and not solely rely on automated tools to manage their cybersecurity posture.
