Improper file permissions in the default installation of TIA Portal may allow an attacker with local file system access to insert specially crafted files which may prevent TIA Portal startup (Denial-of-Service) or lead to local code execution. No special privileges are required, but the victim needs to attempt to start TIA Portal after the manipulation.","published":"2018-08-07T15:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:35:58.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"productcert@siemens.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-276","CWE-732"],"affected":["siemens/simatic step 7 \\(tia portal\\)","siemens/simatic wincc \\(tia portal\\)"],"epss":{"score":0.00358,"percentile":0.29388,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.36%).
