This could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve sensitive information of the affected devices with SNMPv2 GET requests using default credentials.
Security Summary
CVE-2024-54015 is a vulnerability in multiple Siemens SIPROTEC 5 protection relays and communication modules, including models such as 6MD84 (CP300 all versions < V9.90), 6MD85/6MD86/6MD89/6MU85 (CP300 versions >= V8.80 < V9.90), 7KE85 (CP300 >= V8.80 < V10.0), 7SA82/7SD82/7SJ81/7SJ82/7SK82/7SL82/7SX82/7SY82/7UT82 (CP150 all < V9.90), various 7SA/7SD/7SJ/7SK/7SL/7SS/7ST/7SX/7SY/7UM/7UT/7VE/7VK/7VU85 (CP300 >= V8.80 < V9.90 or specific subranges), 7ST85/7ST86 (CP300 < V10.0 with subranges), SIPROTEC 5 Compact 7SX800 (CP050 >= V9.50 < V9.90), and communication modules like ETH-BA-2EL/ETH-BB-2FO/ETH-BD-2FO (all versions < V9.90 or subranges). The issue stems from improper validation of SNMP GET requests, enabling disclosure of sensitive information.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network by sending SNMPv2 GET requests using default credentials, achieving high-impact confidentiality loss (CVSS 7.5: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) without requiring privileges, user interaction, or scope changes. Successful exploitation allows retrieval of sensitive device information, potentially aiding further attacks on industrial control systems.
Siemens Security Advisory SSA-767615 at https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-767615.html provides details on mitigation, including recommended firmware updates to patched versions such as V9.90 or higher where specified. Security practitioners should review the advisory for affected version mappings and upgrade instructions.
