Guest log clearing via unchecked do system command
Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Jun 10, 2025
Incorrect authorization in Siemens industrial switches running SINEC OS before 3.1 allows remote authenticated users to clear the local system log. The internal "do system" command fails to enforce the guest role's permissions and accepts privileged low-risk actions. Guest credentials and network access are required; the most consequential documented action removes local audit history without broader system control.
