A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 SP3 UC06), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.1 (All versions < V9.1 SP1 UC01), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V16 and earlier (All versions), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V17 (All versions < V17 Upd4), SIMATIC WinCC V7.3 (All versions), SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 (All versions < V7.4 SP1 Update 21), SIMATIC WinCC V7.5 (All versions < V7.5 SP2 Update 8). A missing printer configuration on the host could allow an authenticated attacker to escape the WinCC Kiosk Mode.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8, 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), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 3 products from siemens, from siemens, from siemens organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2022, 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.

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.
