Siemens has published fixes for CVE-2025-15467, a stack-based buffer overflow in OpenSSL's parsing of CMS AuthEnvelopedData messages. The vulnerability affects OpenSSL versions 3.0 through 3.6 and allows an attacker to supply a crafted CMS message with an oversized initialization vector, triggering a stack-based out-of-bounds write before any authentication occurs. No valid key material is required to exploit the flaw.
The vulnerability impacts more than 100 Siemens industrial products, including the SCALANCE switch and router families, SIMATIC HMI panels, SIMATIC WinCC SCADA systems, RUGGEDCOM networking equipment, and various industrial software packages. Affected sectors include critical manufacturing, transportation, energy, healthcare, financial services, and government facilities. Siemens has released patches for products including SIMATIC STEP 7 V5, SIMATIC WinCC OA, SIMATIC HMI panels, SINEC INS, and the User Management Component.
For products where fixes are not yet available, Siemens recommends defense-in-depth measures including restricting access to untrusted CMS/PKCS#7 content, securing connected email servers with TLS/SSL, implementing IP allowlists, and following the company's operational guidelines for Industrial Security. Organizations are advised to update to the latest versions where available and apply network segmentation to protect vulnerable systems.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries its extracted indicators and live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
