CVE-2016-7960
Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal) before 14 uses an improper format for managing TIA project files during version updates, which makes it easier for local users to obtain sensitive configuration information via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
