SiPass integrated: Out-of-bounds Read
CVE-2022-31812 is a high-severity out-of-bounds read vulnerability in SiPass integrated from Siemens, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version V2.95.3.18 as the first without the flaw, so updating SiPass integrated to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.65% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 52% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update SiPass integrated to V2.95.3.18 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on cert-portal.siemens.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
A vulnerability has been identified in SiPass integrated (All versions < V2.95.3.18). Affected server applications contain an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated buffer while checking the integrity of incoming packets. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Out-of-bounds Read
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
