Summary
SSA-201595: Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in WIBU CodeMeter Runtime Affecting the Desigo CC Product Family and SENTRON Powermanager

Notes

Summary
Versions V5.0 through V8 of the Desigo CC product family (Desigo CC, Desigo CC Compact, Desigo CC Connect, Cerberus DMS), as well as the Desigo CC-based SENTRON Powermanager, are affected by a vulnerability in the underlying third-party component WIBU Systems CodeMeter Runtime. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow privilege escalation. Siemens has released instructions how to update the CodeMeter Runtime component and recommends to apply the update on affected systems.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
