Siemens has identified multiple vulnerabilities across its APOGEE, TALON and Desigo PXC/PXM product lines. Four CVEs (CVE-2026-102073 through CVE-2026-102076) affect BACnet and P2 Ethernet implementations in APOGEE MBC, MEC, PXC Compact, PXC Modular and TALON TC products, potentially enabling denial of service conditions. A fifth CVE, CVE-2026-89208, affects various Desigo PXC and PXM models and involves improper input validation that could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger memory reads outside intended packet boundaries. Siemens has released updated versions and recommends network segmentation as a mitigation where fixes are not yet available.
Siemens ProductCERT has disclosed an out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CVE-2026-89208) affecting multiple versions of Capital Embedded AR Classic software. The flaw could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger memory reads outside intended packet boundaries, potentially causing abnormal product behavior, instability, or denial of service. The vulnerability spans critical infrastructure sectors including manufacturing, transportation, energy, healthcare, and government facilities worldwide. Siemens has released updated versions for R20-11 and recommends network segmentation as a countermeasure for affected products where fixes are not yet available.
