CVE-2024-45032
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 Industrial Edge Management Pro (All versions < V1.9.5), Industrial Edge Management Virtual (All versions < V2.3.1-1). Affected components do not properly validate the device tokens. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to impersonate other devices onboarded to the system.
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 · moderate confidenceThe vulnerability exists in the device token validation logic of Siemens Industrial Edge Management Pro and Virtual. Affected versions fail to properly validate device tokens during the onboarding process, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to forge or manipulate tokens and impersonate legitimate onboarded devices.

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 installed Industrial Edge Management productAccess the system management interface or check the installed software packages to determine whether the system is running Industrial Edge Management Pro or Industrial Edge Management Virtual. Look for product name indicators in the system inventory or About section.Affected if The system is running either Industrial Edge Management Pro or Industrial Edge Management Virtual
-
Determine the version of Industrial Edge Management ProIf the product is Pro, check the version number in the system administration console or by querying the installed package version. Common locations include the management UI dashboard or system information panel.Affected if The installed version is earlier than V1.9.5 (for example, V1.9.4 or earlier)
-
Determine the version of Industrial Edge Management VirtualIf the product is Virtual, check the version number in the system administration console or by querying the installed package version. Common locations include the management UI dashboard or system information panel.Affected if The installed version is earlier than V2.3.1-1 (for example, V2.3.0 or earlier)
-
Verify device token validation is activeReview the authentication and device onboarding configuration to confirm that device token validation is enabled. Check the security settings related to device authentication in the Industrial Edge Management interface.Affected if Device token validation is configured and the product version is in the affected range
A system is affected if it runs Industrial Edge Management Pro before V1.9.5 or Industrial Edge Management Virtual before V2.3.1-1, with device token validation enabled for onboarded devices.

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 Industrial Edge Management Pro to version V1.9.5 or later, and Industrial Edge Management Virtual to version V2.3.1-1 or later. Additionally, restrict network access to the management interfaces to minimize exposure until patches are applied.
Industrial Edge Management Pro: upgrade to V1.9.5 or later; Industrial Edge Management Virtual: upgrade to V2.3.1-1 or later
- 1. Identify which Industrial Edge Management product is deployed (Pro or Virtual)
- 2. Check the current installed version of the product
- 3. For Industrial Edge Management Pro: Plan upgrade to version V1.9.5 or later
- 4. For Industrial Edge Management Virtual: Plan upgrade to version V2.3.1-1 or later
- 5. Review Siemens upgrade documentation and release notes for the target version
- 6. Perform a complete backup of the system configuration and data
- 7. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
- 8. Upgrade the product to the appropriate fixed version
