CVE-2023-29054

A vulnerability has been identified in SCALANCE X200-4P IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X201-3P IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X201-3P IRT PRO (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X202-2IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X202-2IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X202-2P IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X202-2P IRT PRO (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X204IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X204IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE X204IRT PRO (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE XF201-3P IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE XF202-2P IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE XF204-2BA IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SCALANCE XF204IRT (All versions < V5.5.2), SIPLUS NET SCALANCE X202-2P IRT (All versions < V5.5.2). The SSH server on affected devices is configured to offer weak ciphers by default. This could allow an unauthorized attacker in a man-in-the-middle position to read and modify any data passed over the connection between legitimate clients and the affected device.

Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.7, indicating it requires adjacent network access but requires specific conditions to be met though user interaction is required and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts limited data confidentiality, integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 26 products from siemens, from siemens, from siemens and 23 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

Reported in 2023, 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.
