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.

4. MITIGATIONS

ABB has identified specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce risk and recommends users to perform the following actions on any released SW version of ASPECT:

• Stop and disconnect any ASPECT products that are exposed directly to the Internet, either via a direct ISP connection or via NAT port forwarding.
• Ensure that physical controls are in place, so no unauthorized personnel can access your devices, components, peripheral equipment, and networks.
• Ensure log-files, downloaded from the equipment is protected against unauthorized access.
• Ensure that all ASPECT products are upgraded to the latest firmware version. Please find the latest version of ASPECT firmware on the respective product homepage.
• When remote access is required, only use secure methods. If a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used, ensure that the chosen VPN is secure i.e. updated to the most current version available and configured for secure access.
