CVE-2019-10939


A vulnerability has been identified in TIM 3V-IE (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V2.8), TIM 3V-IE Advanced (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V2.8), TIM 3V-IE DNP3 (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V3.3), TIM 4R-IE (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V2.8), TIM 4R-IE DNP3 (incl. SIPLUS NET variants) (All versions < V3.3). The affected versions contain an open debug port that is available under certain specific conditions. The vulnerability is only available if the IP address is configured to 192.168.1.2. If available, the debug port could be exploited by an attacker with network access to the device. No user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device. At the stage of publishing this security advisory no public exploitation is known.


Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a CRITICAL severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network 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 10 products from siemens, from siemens, from siemens and 7 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

Reported in 2020, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

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.
