The affected product is vulnerable due to cleartext transmission of credentials seen in the CIMPLICITY network, which can be easily spoofed and used to log in to make operational changes to the system.

Remedy

Users are advised to refer to the Secure Deployment Guide on how to configure communication encryption. Users are encouraged to review the CIMPLICITY Windows Hardening Guide and Recommendations for further IPSEC configuration guidance found in the section titled “Appendix A IPSEC Configuration.” Users are encouraged to contact a GE representative to obtain the latest versions of CIMPLICITY.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the GE Digital CIMPLICITY HMI/SCADA product v10.0 and prior. If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an adversary to modify the system, leading to the arbitrary execution of code. This vulnerability is only exploitable if an attacker has access to an authenticated session. GE Digital CIMPLICITY v11.0, released January 2020, contains mitigation for this local privilege escalation vulnerability. GE Digital recommends all users upgrade to GE CIMPLICITY v11.0 or newer.

Exploitation of this vulnerability may result in local privilege escalation and code execution. GE maintains exploitation of this vulnerability is only possible if the attacker has login access to a machine actively running CIMPLICITY, the CIMPLICITY server is not already running a project, and the server is licensed for multiple projects.

Remedy

GE Digital recommends users upgrade all instances of the affected software to GE Digital’s Proficy CIMPLICITY, released January 2022 (Upgrade) and follow the instructions in the Secure Deployment Guide to restrict which CIMPLICITY projects are allowed to run. The upgrade contains what GE believes are mitigation measures to help ensure the vulnerability cannot be exploited. Users are encouraged to contact a GE Digital representative for the latest versions of the update. For users who choose to not implement the upgrade, GE Digital recommends applying the instructions in CIMPLICITY’s Secure Deployment Guide to ensure access to the CIMPLICITY machines and directories are properly controlled via access control limits.
