No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2017 — use a compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and check the vendor's advisory.

The CVE record's description, written by its CNA (Siemens), states the affected versions: "A vulnerability has been identified in Siemens APOGEE PXC and TALON TC BACnet Automation Controllers in all versions <V3.5." No release containing a fix is confirmed on record.

EG Risk 55/100

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

How it’s computed (value × EchelonGraph’s weight)
Severity53% × 45%
Impact severity (EG Severity): CVSS 5.3 of 10. Never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score.
Exploitation40% × 40%

Automatability100% × 15%

Exploitation public PoC (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable yes (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE.
Action: No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2017. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high, and check the vendor's advisory for a fix.

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline

(refreshed 10× in last 7d / 32× in last 30d)

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

Showing the most recent 88 of 189 refreshes on record for this CVE.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 12 repeat rows among the latest 100 are merged into the row they repeat. The 101 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.

  • GitHub PoCRoseSecurity/APOLOGEE
    Published May 26, 2022

    APOLOGEE is a Python script and Metasploit module that enumerates a hidden directory on Siemens APOGEE PXC BACnet Automation Controllers (all versions prior to V3.5) and TALON TC BACnet Automation Controllers (all versions prior to V3.5). With a 7.5 CVSS, this exploit allows for an attacker to perform an authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel to access hidden directories in the web server. This repository takes advantage of CVE-2017-9947.
