CVE-2016-8672
Siemens SIMATIC Insecure Web Server Cookies
Description

A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC CP 343-1 Advanced (incl. SIPLUS NET variant) (All versions < V3.0.53), SIMATIC CP 443-1 Advanced (incl. SIPLUS NET variant) (All versions < V3.2.17), SIMATIC S7-300 PN/DP CPU family (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions), SIMATIC S7-400 PN/DP CPU family (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions). The integrated web server delivers cookies without the "secure" flag. Modern browsers interpreting the flag would mitigate potential data leakage in case of clear text transmission.
