Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection') (CWE-88)
A vulnerability has been identified in Siemens SINEC Security Monitor (All versions < V4.9.0). The affected application does not properly validate user input to the `ssmctl-client` command. This could allow an authenticated, lowly privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the underlying OS.
This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with low privileges to remotely execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the affected system. The impact is severe as it affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. An attacker could potentially: 1. Take complete control of the system 2. Access or modify sensitive data 3. Install malware 4. Use the compromised system as a stepping stone for further attacks within the network The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.9 and a CVSS v4.0 base score of 9.4, both indicating critical severity. This high severity is due to the potential for remote exploitation, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.
A patch is available. The vulnerability is fixed in Siemens SINEC Security Monitor version V4.9.0 and later.
1. Update Siemens SINEC Security Monitor to version V4.9.0 or later as soon as possible. 2. If immediate patching is not possible, consider restricting network access to the affected systems. 3. Implement the principle of least privilege, ensuring users and processes operate with minimal necessary permissions. 4. Monitor systems for suspicious activities, particularly focusing on unusual command executions or privilege escalations. 5. Implement network segmentation to limit the potential spread of an attack if a system is compromised. 6. Regularly audit and review user access rights, removing unnecessary privileges.
