CVE-2022-29884 — Siemens Sicam A8000 Cp-8000 Firmware security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.5

A vulnerability has been identified in CP-8000 MASTER MODULE WITH I/O -25/+70°C (All versions < CPC80 V16.30), CP-8000 MASTER MODULE WITH I/O -40/+70°C (All versions < CPC80 V16.30), CP-8021 MASTER MODULE (All versions < CPC80 V16.30), CP-8022 MASTER MODULE WITH GPRS (All versions < CPC80 V16.30). When using the HTTPS server under specific conditions, affected devices do not properly free resources. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to put the device into a denial of service condition.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

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

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
