A vulnerability has been identified in SINAMICS G220 V6.4 (All versions < V6.4 HF2), SINAMICS S200 V6.4 (All versions), SINAMICS S210 V6.4 (All versions < V6.4 HF2). The affected devices allow a factory reset to be executed without the required privileges due to improper privilege management as well as manipulation of configuration data because of leaked privileges of previous sessions. This could allow an unauthorized attacker to escalate their privileges.
The webserver of the affected devices contains a vulnerability that may lead to
a denial of service condition. An attacker may cause a denial of service
situation which leads to a restart of the webserver of the affected device.
The security vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker with network
access to the affected systems. Successful exploitation requires no system
privileges and no user interaction. An attacker could use the vulnerability
to compromise availability of the device.
