About this tag
TIA Portal discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on security vulnerabilities affecting Siemens Totally Integrated Automation engineering software. Topics include path traversal (CVE-2023-26293), deserialization flaws (CVE-2025-40759, CVE-2024-54678), and DLL hijacking (CVE-2025-30033) in TIA Portal components like STEP 7, WinCC, and PLCSIM. Users also troubleshoot installation issues, such as Windows failing to distinguish between TIA Portal V17 and V18 due to identical executable names. These threads highlight risks for IT/OT environments and provide mitigation advice for engineering workstations.
