Summary
CodeMeter vulnerablity affects SICK CODE-LOC and SICK LIDAR-LOC

Notes

summary
A vulnerability in the CodeMeter runtime affects the SICK products SICK CODE-LOC and SICK LIDAR-LOC. This could potentially affect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the products. Only systems running on Microsoft Windows are affected. Furthermore, the systems are only affected when running the installation and keeping the Control Center component open. As soon as the system has been restarted, it is no longer affected by the vulnerability. Nevertheless, SICK strongly recommends to upgrade to the latest version of the products to mitigate the risk. Currently, SICK is not aware of any public exploits.
General Security Measures
As general security measures, SICK recommends to minimize network exposure of the devices, restrict network access and follow recommended security practices in order to run the devices in a protected IT environment.
Vulnerability Classification
SICK performs vulnerability classification by using the CVSS scoring system (*CVSS v3.1*). The environmental score is dependent on the customer’s environment and can affect the overall CVSS score. SICK recommends that customers individually evaluate the environmental score to achieve final scoring.
