Siemens SIPROTEC 5
CISA Alerts· May 14, 2026

View CSAF Summary The SIPROTEC 5 devices do not use sufficiently random numbers to generate session identifiers. This could facilitate a brute-force attack against a valid session identifier which could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to hijack a valid user session. The affected session identifiers are only used in a subset of the endpoints that are provided by the affected products. Siemens is preparing fix versions and recommends countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available.
