Siemens SCALANCE and RUGGEDCOM Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CVE-2025-32433)

critical Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 505122

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

Erlang/OTP is a set of libraries for the Erlang programming language.
Prior to versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20, a SSH server may allow an attacker to perform unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE). By exploiting a flaw in SSH protocol message handling, a malicious actor could gain unauthorized access to affected systems and execute arbitrary commands without valid credentials. This issue is patched in versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20. A temporary workaround involves disabling the SSH server or to prevent access via firewall rules.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
