4. MITIGATIONS

Schneider Electric has identified the following specific remediations and mitigations users can apply to reduce risk:

  • Modicon M580 communication modules BMENOC BMENOC0321: Version SV1.10 of BMENOC0321 includes a fix for this vulnerability and is available for download here: https://www.se.com/ww/en/product/BMENOC0321/m580- noc-control/
  • Schneider Electric is establishing a remediation plan for all future versions of BMECRA, BMXCRA and 140CRA that will include a fix for this vulnerability. They will update SEVD-2025-014-03 when the remediation is available. Until then, users should immediately implement a firewall to allow only authorized traffic on 67/UDP and 68/UDP ports to reduce the risk of exploit.

Schneider Electric strongly recommends the following industry cybersecurity best practices.

  • Locate control and safety system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from the business network.
  • Install physical controls so no unauthorized personnel can access your industrial control and safety systems, components, peripheral equipment, and networks.
  • Place all controllers in locked cabinets and never leave them in the “Program” mode.
  • Never connect programming software to any network other than the network intended for that device.
  • Scan all methods of mobile data exchange with the isolated network such as CDs, USB drives, etc. before use in the terminals or any node connected to these networks.
  • Never allow mobile devices that have connected to any other network besides the intended network to connect to the safety or control networks without proper sanitation.
  • Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and systems and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
  • When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as virtual private networks (VPNs). Recognize that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also, understand that VPNs are only as secure as the connected devices.

For more information, please refer to ABB’s cybersecurity advisory 9AKK108470A5684.

ABB states that these vulnerabilities are only exploitable if attackers can access the network segment where FLXEON is installed and exposed directly to the internet. ABB therefore recommends the following guidelines in order to protect users networks:

  • FLXEON devices should never be exposed directly to the Internet either via a direct ISP connection nor via NAT port forwarding. If remote access to a FLXEON system is a user requirement, the system shall operate behind a firewall. Users accessing FLXEON remotely shall do this using a VPN gateway allowing access to the particular network segment where FLXEON is in stalled and configured.
  • It is crucial that the VPN gateway and network are set up in accordance with best industry standards and maintained in terms of security patches for all related components.
  • Change default passwords if they are still in use.
  • Ensure that all FLXEON products are upgraded to the latest firmware version. Please find the latest version of FLXEON firmware on the respective product homepage.

4. MITIGATIONS

Elseta recommends affected users update to version 3.2.3.19 or later. Contact Elseta for more information.

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability, such as:

  • Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.
  • Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.
  • When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.

Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.

No known public exploitation specifically targeting this vulnerability has been reported to CISA at this time.
