CVE-2024-41904Network attack vector

Account access via unrestricted authentication attempts

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024

Improper authentication throttling in Siemens SINEC Traffic Analyzer before 2.0 allows remote attackers to brute-force credentials or keys. The application's authentication handling fails to restrict excessive attempts, but Siemens has not identified the affected endpoint or disclosed how attempt limits are enforced. Network access to the Web UI is sufficient; repeated guesses can expose a legitimate account or key, without reported integrity or availability impact.
