Schneider Electric, Siemens, Phoenix Contact and CISA have released ICS product security advisories on the January 2025 Patch Tuesday.

Schneider Electric published nine new advisories this month.

Six of them describe high-severity vulnerabilities affecting PowerLogic HDPM6000 High-Density Metering System (privilege escalation), RemoteConnect and SCADAPackTM x70 utilities (potential remote code execution), Modicon M340 and BMXNO communication modules (information disclosure and DoS), Web Designer for Modicon communication modules (information disclosure and remote code execution), and Pro-face GP-Pro EX and Remote HMI (information exposure and operational failures). 

The company also patched high-severity flaws introduced by the use of third-party components in several EcoStruxure products (due to the use of FlexNet Publisher) and Modicon products (due to the use of the VxWorks OS). 

The industrial giant patched a medium-severity vulnerability in EcoStruxure Power Build Rapsody, which allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Siemens has only published five new advisories this month. Each of them covers one vulnerability found in Mendix (bypassing username verification remotely without authentication), Siprotec 5 (arbitrary file read), Siveillance (read camera credentials), Industrial Edge Management (sensitive data theft via XSS), and Simatic S7-1200 (change CPU mode via CSRF). 

Siemens has started releasing patches, but for some products only workarounds and mitigations are available, and in the case of Industrial Edge Management no fix is planned.

Phoenix Contact has released two new advisories. One of them describes a medium-severity cryptography issue in CmDongle license flash drives that can be exploited via physical access. The second advisory describes a high-severity privilege escalation weakness in CHARX-SEC3xxx Charge controllers.

Germany’s CERT@VDE also published these two advisories on Tuesday on its website. 

The US cybersecurity agency CISA published four ICS advisories. Two of them cover Schneider Electric product vulnerabilities addressed by the vendor in September 2024.  

One advisory covers eight Hitachi Energy Foxman-UN vulnerabilities, including critical issues that can be exploited to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands on the server. The second advisory informs organizations about a DoS flaw in Belledonne Communications’ Linphone-Desktop product.
