A vulnerability has been identified in RFID 181EIP (All versions), RUGGEDCOM Win (V4.4, V4.5, V5.0, and V5.1), SCALANCE X-200 switch family (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V5.2.3), SCALANCE X-200IRT switch family (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V5.4.1), SCALANCE X-200RNA switch family (All versions < V3.2.6), SCALANCE X-300 switch family (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V4.1.3), SCALANCE X408 (All versions < V4.1.3), SCALANCE X414 (All versions), SIMATIC RF182C (All versions). Unprivileged remote attackers located in the same local network segment (OSI Layer 2) could gain remote code execution on the affected products by sending a specially crafted DHCP response to a client's DHCP request.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8, indicating it requires adjacent network access with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 18 products from siemens, from siemens, from siemens and 15 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2018, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For siemens's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
