· Original article ↗

Summary

Siemens, Schneider Electric and Phoenix Contact issued August 2026 ICS advisories covering flaws that could enable unauthenticated code execution, command execution, denial of service and other impacts across their products.

Key points

  • Siemens published 10 advisories, including a maximum-severity missing-authentication flaw in Simatic IoT2050 Advanced devices that could let a remote unauthenticated attacker execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
  • Siemens also fixed a critical code-execution vulnerability in Siveillance Video Management Servers and addressed other flaws across several products.
  • Schneider Electric fixed code- and command-execution issues in NetBotz 5 and a PowerChute Serial Shutdown flaw involving excessive authentication attempts.
  • Phoenix Contact reported multiple PLCnext firmware vulnerabilities that could enable denial of service, unexpected behavior or malicious SQL queries.
  • Honeywell issued several advisories for building management products; CISA also published advisories covering Pulsetto, Mira and Johnson Controls products.
