Service interruption via recursive HTTP request handling
Published Dec 12, 2023 · Updated Feb 25, 2026
Uncontrolled recursion in Siemens SIMATIC, SIPLUS, and SINAMICS web servers allows remote attackers to exhaust resources and interrupt service. Siemens attributes the flaw to uncontrolled recursion in HTTP(S) request handling but does not disclose the recursive code path or request shape. Network access to an enabled web server is sufficient; the documented consequence is service interruption, with no confidentiality or integrity impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
