Siemens SCALANCE X Expected Behavior Violation (CVE-2019-6569)

critical Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 501032

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The monitor barrier of the affected products insufficiently blocks data from being forwarded over the mirror port into the mirrored network. An attacker could use this behavior to transmit malicious packets to systems in the mirrored network, possibly influencing their configuration and runtime behavior.

Matching for this plugin is performed on model name, as they are listed in the Siemens advisory. For the exact MLFBs matching, please refer to the Siemens ssa-557804.

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds/mitigation users can implement to reduce the risk:

- Make sure that no devices that transmit data back into the mirroring network are operated within the mirrored network.

As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends users protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends users configure the environment according to Siemens’ operational guidelines for Industrial Security, and follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
