CVE-2019-18340


A vulnerability has been identified in Control Center Server (CCS) (All versions < V1.5.0), Control Center Server (CCS) (All versions >= V1.5.0), SiNVR/SiVMS Video Server (All versions < V5.0.0), SiNVR/SiVMS Video Server (All versions >= V5.0.0). Both the SiVMS/SiNVR Video Server and the Control Center Server (CCS) store user and device passwords by applying weak cryptography. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to extract the passwords from the user database and/or the device configuration files to conduct further attacks.


Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), for affected systems. Impacting 2 products from siemens, from siemens organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

First disclosed in 2019, 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.

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.
