SSA-388239: Default Password Leakage affecting the Component Shared HIS used in Spectrum Power Systems
Notes
Summary
Siemens has been made aware of a default password leakage in the internet affecting the component Shared HIS (SHHIS) used in Spectrum Power systems.
The products listed below are affected by this default password leakage. This could allow an attacker to access the component Shared HIS of those products with administrative privileges by using an account with default credentials.
Siemens offers configuration recommendations for the affected products in order to mitigate the 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.
