Credential disclosure via plaintext password tracing
Published Sep 10, 2024 · Updated Sep 10, 2024
Sensitive-data exposure in Siemens SINUMERIK systems provisioned with Create MyConfig allows local users to read higher-privilege passwords. During CMC package execution on an NCU or IPC, the tracing subsystem writes the package password or a manually entered password in plaintext to uptrace.out. Low-privilege local authentication and prior CMC provisioning are required; the exposed credential enables impersonation of a more privileged user.

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.
- Affected versionversion=0 <V6.15 SP4
- Affected versionversion=0 <V6.23
