Siemens Industrial Edge Device Kit API Endpoint weak authentication

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Siemens Industrial Edge Device Kit, Industrial Edge Own Device, Industrial Edge Virtual Device, SCALANCE LPE9413, SIMATIC IPC BX-39A Industrial Edge Device, SIMATIC IPC BX-59A Industrial Edge Device, SIMATIC IPC127E Industrial Edge Device, SIMATIC IPC227E Industrial Edge Device, SIMATIC IPC427E Industrial Edge Device and SIMATIC IPC847E Industrial Edge Device. It has been classified as very critical. Affected is some unknown processing of the component API Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a weak authentication vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-1390. The product uses an authentication mechanism to restrict access to specific users or identities, but the mechanism does not sufficiently prove that the claimed identity is correct. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A vulnerability has been identified in Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.17 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.18 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.19 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.20 (All versions < V1.20.2-1), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.21 (All versions < V1.21.1-1), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.17 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.18 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.19 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.20 (All versions < V1.20.2-1), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.21 (All versions < V1.21.1-1), Industrial Edge Own Device (IEOD) (All versions < V1.21.1-1-a), Industrial Edge Virtual Device (All versions < V1.21.1-1-a), SCALANCE LPE9413 (6GK5998-3GS01-2AC2) (All versions), SIMATIC IPC BX-39A Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC BX-59A Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC127E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC227E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC427E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC847E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0). Affected devices do not properly enforce user authentication on specific API endpoints when identity federation is used. This could facilitate an unauthenticated remote attacker to circumvent authentication and impersonate a legitimate user. Successful exploitation requires that identity federation is currently or has previously been used and the attacker has learned the identity of a legitimate user.

The advisory is shared for download at cert-portal.siemens.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2024-54092 since 11/28/2024. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 07/08/2025).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.
