01

What, why and how

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEMA Remote Connect Server (All versions < V3.2 SP1). The affected application does not properly implement brute force protection against user credentials in its web API. This could allow an attacker to learn user credentials that are vulnerable to brute force attacks.

What

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEMA Remote Connect Server (All versions < V3.2 SP1). The affected application does not properly implement brute force protection against user credentials in its web API. This could allow an attacker to learn user credentials that are vulnerable to brute force attacks.

Why

The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.

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.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

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
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

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 → Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible

CWE-307 ↗

CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts. The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0282Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Siemens Producten

De kwetsbaarheden stellen een kwaadwillende mogelijk in staat aanvallen uit te voeren die kunnen leiden tot de volgende categorieën schade: - Denial-of-Service (DoS) - Manipulatie van gegevens - (Remote) code execution (Administrator/Root rechten) - (Remote) code execution (Gebruikersrechten) - Toegang tot systeemgegevens - Toegang tot gevoelige gegevens - Verhoogde gebruikersrechten De kwaadwillende heeft hiervoor toegang nodig tot de productieomgeving. Het is goed gebruik een dergelijke omgeving niet publiek toegankelijk te hebben.
