It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-38465 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-38465 is a critical vulnerability in Siemens SIMATIC Drive Controller family, published on 11 Oct 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38465 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens SIMATIC Drive Controller family. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38465/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38465/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38465","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38465/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38465","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-45px-m6q7-hv4p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Siemens PLC controllers","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can extract private keys via offline attacks to decrypt confidential configuration data and compromise legacy communication channels.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"simatic_drive_controller_cpu_1504d_tf_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_drive_controller_cpu_1507d_tf_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_et_200_sp_open_controller_cpu_1515sp_pc2_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_et_200_sp_open_controller_cpu_1515sp_pc_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1211c_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1212c_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1212fc_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1214c_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1214fc_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1215c_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1215fc_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1200_cpu_12_1217c_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1510sp-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1510sp_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1511-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1511t-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1511tf-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1512c-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1512sp-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1512spf-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1513-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1513f-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1513r-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1515-2_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_151511c-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_151511f-1_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1515f-2_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1515r-2_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1515t-2_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1516-3_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1516f-3_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1516pro_f_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1516t-3_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1516tf-3_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1517-3_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1517f-3_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1518-4_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1518f-4_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1518hf-4_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1518t-4_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_1518tf-4_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_15pro-2_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_cpu_15prof-2_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-1500_software_controller","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_s7-plcsim_advanced_firmware","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC Drive Controller family (All versions \u003c V2.9.2), SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controller CPU 1515SP PC (incl.
