CVE-2019-18340 — Siemens Sinvr 3 Central Control Server security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

A vulnerability has been identified in Control Center Server (CCS) (All versions < V1.5.0), Control Center Server (CCS) (All versions >= V1.5.0), SiNVR/SiVMS Video Server (All versions < V5.0.0), SiNVR/SiVMS Video Server (All versions >= V5.0.0). Both the SiVMS/SiNVR Video Server and the Control Center Server (CCS) store user and device passwords by applying weak cryptography. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to extract the passwords from the user database and/or the device configuration files to conduct further attacks.

Matched remediation archetype

Cryptography, certificate, signature, and channel validation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory affected algorithms, key uses, trust stores, certificate validation settings, random sources, and plaintext channels across clients and services.
  • Determine which secrets, identities, signatures, or data protections depend on the affected primitive or validation path.
  • Check debug, compatibility, fallback, and hostname or audience override settings in build and runtime configuration.

Remediate safely

  • Use a maintained platform cryptographic API with approved algorithms, modes, parameters, randomness, and full peer identity validation.
  • Remove insecure fallback and validation bypasses; separate keys by purpose and load them from managed secret storage.
  • Plan rotation or reissuance for affected keys, certificates, tokens, hashes, or ciphertext and document compatibility sequencing.
