Summary

CISA ICS-CERT released advisory ICSA-26-092-01 identifying two vulnerabilities in Siemens SICAM 8 industrial control products. CVE-2026-27663 is a medium-severity denial-of-service vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) caused by resource exhaustion under high request volumes. CVE-2026-27664 is a high-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) exploitable through malicious XML input. Affected products include CPCI85, RTUM85, and SICORE firmware versions prior to V26.10. Siemens recommends updating to V26.10 or later.

What changed

CISA ICS-CERT published advisory ICSA-26-092-01 addressing two vulnerabilities in Siemens SICAM 8 industrial control products. CVE-2026-27663 affects CPCI85 and RTUM85 firmware (versions prior to 26.10) and allows remote denial-of-service through resource exhaustion when subjected to high request volumes, potentially preventing parameterization and requiring system reboot. CVE-2026-27664 affects CPCI85 and SICORE firmware (versions prior to 26.10.0) and allows an unauthenticated attacker to cause denial-of-service through specially crafted XML requests causing an out-of-bounds write condition.

Organizations running affected Siemens SICAM 8 products must identify their deployments, prioritize patching to V26.10 or later, and verify installation. Specific update packages are available from Siemens support portal (CP-8031/CP-8050 Package, CP-8010/CP-8012 Package, SICAM EGS Package, SICAM S8000 Package). If immediate patching is not feasible, implement network segmentation and monitoring controls as compensating measures. The advisory affects critical manufacturing and energy sector entities operating power grid automation equipment worldwide.

What to do next

  1. Identify all Siemens SICAM 8 products (CPCI85, RTUM85, SICORE) in your environment and verify current firmware versions
  2. Apply firmware updates to V26.10 or later using appropriate Siemens package from support portal
  3. Verify successful patching and implement network segmentation controls as compensating measures until updates are applied

General Recommendations

Operators of critical power systems (e.g. TSOs or DSOs) worldwide are usually required by regulations to build resilience into the power grids by applying multi-level redundant secondary protection schemes. It is therefore recommended that the operators check whether appropriate resilient protection measures are in place. The risk of cyber incidents impacting the grid's reliability can thus be minimized by virtue of the grid design. Siemens strongly recommends applying the provided security updates using the corresponding tooling and documented procedures made available with the product. If supported by the product, an automated means to apply the security updates across multiple product instances may be used. Siemens strongly recommends prior validation of any security update before being applied, and supervision by trained staff of the update process in the target environment. As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access with appropriate mechanisms (e.g. firewalls, segmentation, VPN). It is advised to configure the environment according to our operational guidelines in order to run the devices in a protected IT environment. Recommended security guidelines can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/gridsecurity

Recommended Practices

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the exploitation risk of this vulnerability.

Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the internet.

Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks.

When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most recent version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as its connected devices.

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.

Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
