SINEC NMS: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-24032 is a high-severity improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in SINEC NMS from Siemens, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 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 V4.0 SP3 as the first without the flaw, so updating SINEC NMS to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update SINEC NMS to V4.0 SP3 or a later version.
  2. 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 SINEC NMS (All versions < V4.0 SP3 with UMC). The affected application contains an authentication weakness due to insufficient validation of user identity in the UMC component. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the application. (ZDI-CAN-27564)

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
