What is CVE-2022-29878?

CVE-2022-29878 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Siemens SICAM T, published on 10 May 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

A vulnerability has been identified in SICAM T (All versions < V3.0). Affected devices use a limited range for challenges that are sent during the unencrypted challenge-response communication. An unauthenticated attacker could capture a valid challenge-response pair generated by a legitimate user, and request the webpage repeatedly to wait for the same challenge to reappear for which the correct response is known. This could allow the attacker to access the management interface of the device.
