Configuration manipulation via forged administrator requests
Published Sep 14, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Siemens SINEC NMS before 1.0 SP1 allows remote attackers to alter configuration through its web interface. The web interface accepts configuration-changing requests from an administrator's authenticated browser without verifying that the administrator intended them. Exploitation requires an administrator with an active session to follow an attacker-supplied malicious link, allowing unauthorized changes to managed-network settings.
