CVE-2023-29105 — A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7 CC712 (All versions >= V2.0 < V2.1...
A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7 CC712 (All versions >= V2.0 < V2.1), SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7 CC712 (All versions < V2.1), SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7 CC716 (All versions >= V2.0 < V2.1), SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7 CC716 (All versions < V2.1). The affected device is vulnerable to a denial of service while parsing a random (non-JSON) MQTT payload. This could allow an attacker who can manipulate the communication between the MQTT broker and the affected device to cause a denial of service (DoS).
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.6% (30-day exploitation probability)+7
- Technical severity (high)+6
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
- Documented patch — cert-portal.siemens.com (NIST National Vulnerability Database)
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Siemens 6gk1411-1ac00 Firmware, Siemens 6gk1411-5ac00 Firmware, Siemens SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7 CC712…).
- The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
- Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2023-29105 is "A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7 CC712 (All versions >= V2.0 < V2.1...", rated High. It affects 6gk1411-1ac00 Firmware (Siemens); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 7.5 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.55% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
