A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM V17 (All versions), SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM V18 (All versions), SIMATIC STEP 7 Safety V17 (All versions < V17 Update 9), SIMATIC STEP 7 Safety V18 (All versions < V18 Update 6), SIMATIC STEP 7 Safety V19 (All versions < V19 Update 4), SIMATIC STEP 7 V17 (All versions < V17 Update 9), SIMATIC STEP 7 V18 (All versions < V18 Update 6), SIMATIC STEP 7 V19 (All versions < V19 Update 4), SIMATIC WinCC Unified PC Runtime V18 (All versions), SIMATIC WinCC Unified PC Runtime V19 (All versions < V19 Update 4), SIMATIC WinCC Unified V17 (All versions < V17 Update 9), SIMATIC WinCC Unified V18 (All versions < V18 Update 6), SIMATIC WinCC Unified V19 (All versions < V19 Update 4), SIMATIC WinCC V17 (All versions < V17 Update 9), SIMATIC WinCC V18 (All versions < V18 Update 6), SIMATIC WinCC V19 (All versions < V19 Update 4), SIMOCODE ES V17 (All versions), SIMOCODE ES V18 (All versions), SIMOCODE ES V19 (All versions), SIMOTION SCOUT TIA V5.4 (All versions), SIMOTION SCOUT TIA V5.5 (All versions), SIMOTION SCOUT TIA V5.6 (All versions < V5.6 SP1 HF7), SINAMICS Startdrive V17 (All versions), SINAMICS Startdrive V18 (All versions), SINAMICS Startdrive V19 (All versions), SIRIUS Safety ES V17 (TIA Portal) (All versions), SIRIUS Safety ES V18 (TIA Portal) (All versions), SIRIUS Safety ES V19 (TIA Portal) (All versions), SIRIUS Soft Starter ES V17 (TIA Portal) (All versions), SIRIUS Soft Starter ES V18 (TIA Portal) (All versions), SIRIUS Soft Starter ES V19 (TIA Portal) (All versions), TIA Portal Cloud V17 (All versions), TIA Portal Cloud V18 (All versions), TIA Portal Cloud V19 (All versions < V5.2.1.1). The affected devices do not properly sanitize user-controllable input when parsing user settings. This could allow an attacker to locally execute arbitrary commands in the host operating system with the privileges of the user.

Suggested hunting (rule-based inference)
SecOps Signal recommendation (rule-based inference). These steps are hunting hypotheses from the vulnerability class; they do not state or imply that exploitation occurred here or anywhere.
Matched local-privilege-escalation (CVSS AV:L, CVSS PR:L)
Exposure
- Identify hosts reporting this CVE, prioritising shared or multi-user systems.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A local, low-privilege vector matters most where untrusted users can run code. · Rule local-privilege-escalation
Exploitation evidence
- Look for low-privileged processes spawning SYSTEM or root-level child processes on affected hosts.Telemetry: DeviceProcessEvents · Hunting hypothesis from the CVSS vector; privilege transitions are a focused starting point, not evidence of attack. · Rule local-privilege-escalation
Response
- Confirm the source-stated update on affected hosts.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · Host inventory can verify remediation. · Rule local-privilege-escalation
