CVE: CVE-2014-2250
SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers are new modular miniature controllers. Due to the compact modular design with a high performance at the same time, the SIMATIC S7-1200 is suitable for a wide variety of automation applications. Its range of use extends from the replacement of relays and contactors up to complex automation tasks in networks and within distributed structures.
The specialists of the Positive Research center have detected an Insuffient Entropy vulnerability in Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU PLC.
Due to low entropy in its random number generator, the integrated web serverβs authentication method (port 80/tcp and port 443/tcp) could allow attackers to hijack web sessions over the network if the session token can be predicted.
