Client-Side Authentication Vulnerability in Cerberus DMS and Desigo Products by Siemens

CVE-2022-33139

Summary

A vulnerability has been discovered in various Siemens products, including Cerberus DMS and Desigo systems, which utilize client-side only authentication. When server-side authentication or Kerberos is not activated, attackers can potentially masquerade as legitimate users or manipulate the client-server communication protocol without proper authentication checks. This flaw emphasizes the critical importance of implementing robust authentication mechanisms in both default and non-default configurations of affected products to safeguard against unauthorized access and exploitation.
