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 · unedited
A vulnerability has been identified in SIRIUS 3RK3 Modular Safety System (MSS) (All versions), SIRIUS Safety Relays 3SK2 (All versions). The affected devices do not require authentication to access critical resources. An attacker with network access could retrieve sensitive information from certain data records, including obfuscated safety passwords.

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 confidence

The SIRIUS 3RK3 Modular Safety System and SIRIUS Safety Relays 3SK2 allow unauthenticated network access to critical resources, enabling remote attackers to retrieve sensitive data including obfuscated safety passwords from certain data records.

MitigationImplement network segmentation to isolate affected safety devices from untrusted networks; consult vendor for firmware updates that enforce authentication; until patched, monitor for unauthorized access attempts to these industrial safety components.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify SIRIUS safety devices on the network
    Scan network inventory or use industrial asset discovery tools to locate Siemens SIRIUS 3RK3 Modular Safety Systems and SIRIUS Safety Relays 3SK2. Check device nameplates, management interfaces, or PLC/SCADA configurations for these model numbers.
    Affected if SIRIUS 3RK3 or 3SK2 devices are present on the network and reachable via IP
  2. Determine network exposure of safety devices
    Review firewall rules, VLAN assignments, and network segmentation policies to check whether these safety devices are accessible from untrusted networks or the internet.
    Affected if Devices are accessible from untrusted network segments without proper isolation
  3. Check for unauthenticated access to data records
    If you have access to the device management interface, attempt to retrieve data records or configuration files without providing credentials. Look for endpoints that return safety-related data such as passwords or configuration parameters without authentication prompts.
    Affected if Data records containing safety passwords or sensitive configuration data are accessible without authentication
  4. Review network logs for unauthorized access attempts
    Inspect firewall, IDS/IPS, or network monitoring logs for unusual traffic patterns targeting port 80/443 or proprietary protocols on the safety device IP addresses, particularly requests that retrieve configuration or password data.
    Affected if Log analysis reveals unauthorized external access attempts to safety device interfaces or data retrieval requests
  5. Compare installed firmware version
    Access the device web interface or management console and record the firmware version. Compare against any vendor-released patched versions for CVE-2025-24009 if documented in vendor security advisories.
    Affected if Firmware version matches or predates the vulnerable version range and the device is network-accessible

Environment is affected if SIRIUS 3RK3 or 3SK2 safety devices are network-accessible and allow unauthenticated retrieval of sensitive data records or safety passwords.
