CVE-2024-30207Network attack vector

Traffic compromise via hard-coded symmetric key

Published May 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Hard-coded cryptographic key use in Siemens SIMATIC RTLS Locating Manager before 3.0.1.1 allows remote attackers to tamper with client-server traffic. The client and server protect their communications with the same embedded symmetric key, allowing anyone who obtains it to decrypt or forge intercepted traffic. Exploitation requires knowledge of the key and a position on the network path; successful interception exposes and alters communications and can interrupt the system.
