Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs SICK AG SICK InspectorP61x and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.

SCA-2024-0006 · CSAF 2.0 · revision 2 · finalSICK PSIRTCritical vulnerabilities in SICK InspectorP61x, InspectorP62x and TiM3xx
The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.
- SICK InspectorP61x with Firmware < 5.0.0
- SICK TiM3xx with Firmware < 5.10.0
- SICK InspectorP62x with Firmware < 5.0.0
- Summary
- The product is vulnerable to pass-the-hash attacks in combination with hardcoded credentials of hidden user levels. This means that an attacker can log in with the hidden user levels and gain full access to the device.
- Remediation
- Customers are strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest release.

What, why and how
The product is vulnerable to pass-the-hash attacks in combination with hardcoded credentials of hidden user levels. This means that an attacker can log in with the hidden user levels and gain full access to the device.
What
The product is vulnerable to pass-the-hash attacks in combination with hardcoded credentials of hidden user levels. This means that an attacker can log in with the hidden user levels and gain full access to the device.
Why
The product contains functionality that is not documented, not part of the specification, and not accessible through an interface or command sequence that is obvious to the product's users or administrators.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- a network path → Hidden Functionality → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
- User interaction
- None
- Attack complexity
- High: exploitation depends on specific conditions
- Security boundary
- Changed: exploitation can affect a different security authority
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-912 ↗
CWE-912: Hidden Functionality. The product contains functionality that is not documented, not part of the specification, and not accessible through an interface or command sequence that is obvious to the product's users or administrators.
- CVSS vector

CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCommon Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

- Stolen credentials, tokens and legitimate administration functions may provide continued access without deploying a large custom toolset.

Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.
- Status
?
Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change. - Patch available
- Affected
- Fixed
- Action
- Customers are strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest release.
- Workaround
- No verified workaround is recorded. If business-safe, reduce exposure to the affected interface and allow only trusted sources until authoritative guidance is available.
