Summary
SSA-185638: Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in SICAM A8000 Web Server Module

Notes

Summary
A vulnerability was identified in the web server module used in the SICAM A8000 CP-8000, CP-8021 and CP-8022 devices' protocol firmwares. - AGPMT0 (AGP Master) - DNPiT1 (DNP3 TCP/IP Server) - DNPiT2 (DNP3 TCP/IP Client) - DNPMT0 (DNP3 Master seriell) - DNPST0 (DNP3 Slave seriell) - ET83 (61850 Ed.1) - ET85 (61850 Ed.2) - MBCiT0 (MODBUS TCP/IP Client) - MBSiT0 (MODBUS TCP/IP Server) - MODMT2 (MODBUS Master seriell) - OPUPT0 (OPCUA Pub/Sub) - OPUPT1 (Mindconnect) The vulnerability could allow unauthenticated access to the web interface of the affected web server module. The module is used for diagnostic purposes as well as commissioning and has to be activated manually within the protocol firmwares. For this reason the protocol firmwares are secure by default. Siemens updated the manual to make the situation transparent and raise awareness for operators. Siemens recommends countermeasures for products where updates are not, or not yet available.
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.
