Vulnerability in Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC Allows Spoofing Attacks through Management Certificate Exploits

CVE-2012-3037

Summary

The Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC 2.x is vulnerable due to inadequate protection of the private key associated with the SIMATIC CONTROLLER Certification Authority certificate. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to exploit the weak security measures to create forged certificates, enabling them to spoof the web server of the S7-1200. Consequently, this poses significant risks to the integrity and confidentiality of the operational environment, as attackers can impersonate trusted components, potentially leading to unauthorized access and manipulation.
