Authenticated settings modification via missing authorization checks
Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024
Incorrect authorization in Siemens SINEC NMS before 3.0 allows remote authenticated users to modify application settings via the network. The application fails to enforce authorization checks before accepting settings changes, but Siemens has not disclosed the affected endpoint, handler, or permission check. A valid low-privileged account and network access are required; the bounded consequence is unauthorized configuration modification without reported disclosure or service interruption.
