A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels 4" - 22" (All versions < V15.1 Update 1), SIMATIC HMI Comfort Outdoor Panels 7" & 15" (All versions < V15.1 Update 1), SIMATIC HMI KTP Mobile Panels KTP400F, KTP700, KTP700F, KTP900 und KTP900F (All versions < V15.1 Update 1), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Advanced (All versions < V15.1 Update 1), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional (All versions < V15.1 Update 1), SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) (All versions < V15.1 Update 1), SIMATIC HMI Classic Devices (TP/MP/OP/MP Mobile Panel) (All versions). An attacker with network access to affected devices could potentially obtain a TLS session key. If the attacker is able to observe TLS traffic between a legitimate user and the device, then the attacker could decrypt the TLS traffic. The security vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker who has network access to the web interface of the device and who is able to observe TLS traffic between legitimate users and the web interface of the affected device. The vulnerability could impact the confidentiality of the communication between the affected device and a legitimate user. At the time of advisory publication no public exploitation of the security vulnerability was known.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This Siemens SIMATIC HMI and WinCC issue can expose encrypted web-interface communications. An attacker with network access who can also observe legitimate TLS traffic may obtain a session key and decrypt that traffic. The primary business risk is loss of confidentiality in industrial operator or engineering communications, not system takeover or outage based on the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely in industrial networks where affected SIMATIC HMI or WinCC web interfaces are reachable from adjacent or operational network segments. Internet exposure is not stated in the sources. SIMATIC HMI Classic Devices are listed as affected in all versions, so they need specific vendor-guided handling. Treat this as a moderate-priority industrial confidentiality issue. It is not described as enabling control-system takeover, but decrypted operator or engineering traffic can expose sensitive process or access information. Prioritize sites with reachable HMI web interfaces, shared network segments, or legacy HMI Classic Devices. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected V15 products to V15.1 Update 1 or later where supported.; Check Siemens SSA-804486 for product-specific guidance, especially HMI Classic Devices.; Restrict network access to HMI and WinCC web interfaces..

CWE-310: Exact CWE lookup
Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
