Activity feed compromise via insufficient access controls
Published Dec 14, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Improper access control in affected Siemens SiPass integrated and Siveillance Identity versions allows remote attackers to alter activity feeds. The applications expose the internal activity-feed database without sufficient access restrictions, permitting reads, modifications, and deletions. No authentication is required, but Siemens has not disclosed the affected endpoint or the specific failed authorization check.
