SINEC INS Command Injection and Path Traversal
2026-06-09
Authenticated command injection in Siemens SINEC INS versions prior to V1.0 SP2 Update 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands as the sinecins service account by submitting crafted directory names to the /api/sftp/uploadFiles endpoint. The injected payloads are stored and triggered later when directory listings are retrieved, producing a stored/second-order command injection. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the underlying host.
Path traversal in Siemens SINEC INS versions prior to V1.0 SP2 Update 6 exposes arbitrary file system locations via the SFTP directory listing endpoint. An authenticated low-privileged network attacker can send a crafted path to GET /api/sftp/uploadFiles to read files outside the intended directory scope, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of file system contents. No active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis; the impact is limited to confidentiality with no integrity or availability consequence.
