CVE-2022-36323Network attack vector

Administrative code execution via unsanitized input field

Published Aug 10, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2026

Command injection in Siemens SCALANCE device firmware allows remote authenticated users with administrative privileges to execute code. An input field in the web interface is passed to a downstream component without proper sanitization, although Siemens has not disclosed the exact field or processing path. Administrative access to the HTTP or HTTPS management service is required, and successful exploitation grants code execution or a system root shell.
