CVE-2024-35295
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability has been identified in Perfect Harmony GH180 (All versions >= V8.0 < V8.3.3 with NXGPro+ controller manufactured between April 2020 to April 2025). The maintenance connection of affected devices fails to protect access to the device's control unit configuration. This could allow an attacker with physical access to the maintenance connection's door port to perform arbitrary configuration changes.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Perfect Harmony GH180 controller (NXGPro+ models manufactured April 2020-April 2025, running firmware V8.0 to V8.3.2) has a vulnerability in the maintenance connection door port. This maintenance port fails to properly protect access to the control unit configuration, allowing a physically proximate attacker to make arbitrary configuration changes.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the controller modelLocate the physical device or system documentation and confirm it is a Perfect Harmony GH180 controller, specifically the NXGPro+ variant. Check the device label or management interface for the model designation.Affected if The device is a Perfect Harmony GH180 NXGPro+ controller
-
Verify manufacturing dateCheck the manufacturing date on the device label, shipping documentation, or system inventory records. The vulnerability affects units manufactured between April 2020 and April 2025.Affected if The manufacturing date falls between April 2020 and April 2025 inclusive
-
Check installed firmware versionAccess the controller's management interface or firmware information page and identify the current firmware version. Compare against the affected range V8.0 to V8.3.2.Affected if The installed firmware version is V8.0, V8.1, V8.2, V8.3, V8.3.1, or V8.3.2
-
Inspect maintenance connection door portPhysically examine the controller unit for the maintenance connection door port. Determine whether the port is present and accessible without special tools or authentication. This port provides direct access to control unit configuration.Affected if The maintenance connection door port is physically accessible and allows direct access to configuration settings
The environment is affected if it contains a Perfect Harmony GH180 NXGPro+ controller manufactured between April 2020 and April 2025, running firmware V8.0 through V8.3.2, with an accessible maintenance connection door port that permits unrestricted configuration changes.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade firmware to V8.3.3 or later and implement physical access controls around the maintenance connection door port to prevent unauthorized local access.
V8.3.3 or later
- 1. Identify the current firmware version of the Perfect Harmony GH180 device by accessing the device configuration or control system interface
- 2. Verify the device is within the affected range: versions V8.0 through V8.2.x with NXGPro+ controller
- 3. Contact Innomotics (or Siemens) technical support to obtain the firmware upgrade package for version V8.3.3 or later
- 4. Follow the manufacturer's documented firmware update procedure, ensuring proper physical access controls are maintained during the upgrade process
- 5. After upgrading, verify the device is running version V8.3.3 or later and confirm the maintenance connection now properly protects access to the control unit configuration
