A vulnerability has been identified in SIMOTION C240 (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION C240 PN (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D410-2 DP (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D410-2 DP/PN (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D425-2 DP (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D425-2 DP/PN (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D435-2 DP (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D445-2 DP/PN (All versions >= V5.4), SIMOTION D445-2 DP/PN (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION D455-2 DP/PN (All versions >= V5.4 < V5.5 SP1), SIMOTION P320-4 E (All versions >= V5.4), SIMOTION P320-4 S (All versions >= V5.4). When operated with Security Level Low the device does not protect access to certain services relevant for debugging. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker to extract confidential technology object (TO) configuration from the device.

Weakness

The product’s intended functionality exposes information to certain actors in accordance with the developer’s security policy, but this information is regarded as sensitive according to the intended security policies of other stakeholders such as the product’s administrator, users, or others whose information is being processed.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Simotion_d425-2_dp_firmware Siemens 5.4 (including) 5.5 (excluding)
Simotion_d425-2_dp_firmware Siemens 5.5 (including) 5.5 (including)

Extended Description

When handling information, the developer must consider whether the information is regarded as sensitive by different stakeholders, such as users or administrators. Each stakeholder effectively has its own intended security policy that the product is expected to uphold. When a developer does not treat that information as sensitive, this can introduce a vulnerability that violates the expectations of the product’s users.
