Affected devices contain a vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to violate access-control rules. The vulnerability can be triggered by sending GET request to specific uniform resource locator on the web configuration interface of the device. The security vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker with network access to the affected systems. An attacker could use the vulnerability to obtain sensitive information or change the device configuration. At the time of advisory publication no public exploitation of this security vulnerability was known.
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit a missing authentication for critical function (CWE-306) in affected Siemens SCALANCE X switches to obtain information and change device configuration.
Vulnerability
A missing authentication for critical function vulnerability (CWE-306) exists in multiple families of Siemens SCALANCE X switches. The affected products include the SCALANCE X-200RNA series (all versions prior to v3.2.7), the SCALANCE X-300 switch family including X408 and SIPLUS NET variants (all versions prior to v4.1.3), and a wide range of SCALANCE X models such as X204RNA, X302-7 EEC, X304-2FE, X306-1LD FE, X307-2 EEC, X307-3, X308-2, X310, X320-1 FE, X408-2, XR324-12M, XR324-4M EEC, and many more listed in the advisory [1]. All versions prior to the respective fixed releases are vulnerable.
Exploitation
An attacker with network access to an affected device can exploit this vulnerability remotely without authentication. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), and no privileges (PR:N), but does require user interaction (UI:R), meaning a user must perform a specific action to trigger the vulnerability. The attacker can then violate access-control rules by sending specially crafted network requests [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information and change the device configuration. The CVSS v3 base score is 8.8, with a vector string of (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L), indicating a low impact on confidentiality, high impact on integrity, and low impact on availability, with a scope change (S:C). This means the attacker can compromise resources beyond the original authorization boundaries [1].
Mitigation
Siemens has released firmware updates to address this vulnerability. For SCALANCE X-200RNA variants (HSR, PRP, EEC), update to v3.2.7 or later. For SCALANCE X-300 switch family (including X408 and SIPLUS NET variants), update to v4.1.3 or later. Users should apply these updates as soon as possible. No workarounds are mentioned in the available references; the advisory recommends updating to the fixed versions [1].
