Description
A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW (All versions < V6.0). Affected devices do not properly restrict access to various database queries, allowing users to retrieve system-wide information that is not intended for their privilege level. This could allow an authenticated attacker to gather sensitive information about the system's infrastructure, including details on all devices, substations, users, and scheduled activities.

Impact

The CVE-2026-89203 vulnerability was identified in Siemens RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW devices. The product fails to properly restrict access to certain database queries, allowing an authenticated user with lower privileges to execute operations that return system-wide information that should be reserved for higher privilege levels. This can expose details about the infrastructure, such as all devices, substations, users, and scheduled activities, compromising confidentiality. The weakness aligns with CWE-201, which describes improper authorization of database operations.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are Siemens RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW devices running any firmware version earlier than V6.0. No later versions have been reported to contain the flaw, and Siemens indicates that the issue is fixed in V6.0 and above.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score for this issue is 5.3, indicating a moderate impact. The EPSS score is not reported, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting there is currently no widespread exploitation of this flaw. An attacker would need authenticated access, and the potential damage is limited to information disclosure rather than code execution or denial of service. The risk level can be considered moderate, and mitigation through patching or upgrading to a fixed version is strongly recommended.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Siemens RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW firmware to version V6.0 or later, which defends against the database query vulnerability.
  • Validate that role-based access controls are configured so that only authorized users can run database queries; disable any unrestricted query capability.
  • Harden the network perimeter by blocking or limiting remote database access from untrusted networks and applying segmentation or firewall rules to isolate the device from broader network traffic.
