CVE-2019-10941Network attack vector

Configuration disclosure via unauthenticated backup export

Published Sep 14, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Missing authentication in Siemens SINEMA Server before V14 SP3 allows remote attackers to download encoded system configuration backups. The network-exposed system-configuration export function serves administrative backup files without verifying a user identity. Network reachability is sufficient, and the disclosed backup is encoded rather than reported as plaintext or attacker-modifiable.
