Siemens SIPLUS and SIMATIC Products – Trending Issues Daily

How can operators check whether their Siemens SIPLUS or SIMATIC product is affected by CVE-2026-31431?

Operators should start with the CISA ICS advisory released on September 22, 2026 and compare their Siemens product name and version against the affected list.

What to check first

The advisory says multiple Siemens SIPLUS and SIMATIC products are affected by the Copy Fail vulnerability associated with CVE-2026-31431.

The affected list includes:

SIMATIC AX Runtime Core Linux components
SIMATIC CN 4100
multiple SIMATIC HMI MTP1000 Unified panel variants

How to use that information

Check the exact product family first, then compare the installed release against the advisory and Siemens’ update guidance.

If your product appears in the affected list and an updated version exists, Siemens advises moving to the latest release. If a fix is not available yet, or is still being prepared, Siemens recommends specific countermeasures.

Keep the advisory close

The context does not include every affected version or every countermeasure. For an operational check, use CISA’s advisory and Siemens’ latest release information before deciding whether a system is clear.

What should users do if an updated Siemens SIPLUS or SIMATIC release is available?

If an updated Siemens SIPLUS or SIMATIC release is available for an affected product, Siemens’ guidance is to move to the latest release.

The practical step

For products affected by the Copy Fail vulnerability, the confirmed recommendation is straightforward: update to the latest available version when Siemens has issued one.

CISA’s September 22, 2026 advisory says Siemens has released updated versions for several affected products.

If no fix is available yet

Not every product may have an available fix at the same time. The advisory says that for products without an available fix, or where fixes are still being prepared, Siemens recommends specific countermeasures.

The context does not list those countermeasures in detail, so users should follow the official advisory rather than guessing.

What to verify before acting

Confirm that your product is on the affected list, then check whether Siemens has an updated release for that product. Because advisories can be revised, review the CISA page and Siemens guidance before scheduling changes.

What changed after CISA’s September 22, 2026 advisory for Siemens SIPLUS and SIMATIC products?

CISA’s September 22, 2026 advisory changed the public status of the issue by identifying affected Siemens SIPLUS and SIMATIC products tied to the Copy Fail vulnerability.

What became clear after the advisory

It also identified examples from the affected list, including SIMATIC AX Runtime Core Linux components, SIMATIC CN 4100, and multiple SIMATIC HMI MTP1000 Unified panel variants.

What Siemens had already provided

The advisory says Siemens issued updated versions for several affected products and advises users to move to the latest releases.

For products that do not yet have a fix, or where fixes are still being prepared, Siemens recommends specific countermeasures.

What remains product-specific

The exact next step depends on the specific Siemens product and version in use. The context does not include the full version table or the countermeasure details, so teams should use the CISA advisory as the current reference point.
