  • EVlink Home Smart: For already connected products, Version 2.0.6.0.0 of EVlink Home Smart includes a fix for this vulnerability and has been deployed to automatically upgrade all charging stations connected to the Wiser application.
    • Make sure the charging station is connected to the Wiser application to ensure the new version is downloaded and installed.
    • For new installations, a fix for this vulnerability is enforced through eSetup commissioning application.
    • The installed firmware version can be verified through Wiser application (refer to the settings page for the charging station).
  • Schneider Charge: For already connected products, Version 1.13.4 of Schneider Charge includes a fix for this vulnerability and has been deployed to automatically upgrade all charging stations connected to the Wiser application.
    • Make sure the charging station is connected to the Wiser application to ensure the new version is downloaded and installed.
    • For new installations, a fix for this vulnerability is enforced through eSetup commissioning application.
    • The installed firmware version can be verified through either Wiser application (refer to the settings page for the charging station), or the third-party supervision application.

Schneider Electric strongly recommends the following cybersecurity best practices:

  • Device should only be used in a personal home network.
  • Device should not have a publicly accessible IP address.
  • Do NOT use port forwarding to access a device from the public Internet.
  • A device should be on its own network segment. If your router supports a guest network or VLAN, it is preferable to locate the device there.
  • Use the strongest Wi-Fi encryption available in the home Wi-Fi network, such as WPA3 or WPA2/3 with protected management frames.
  • Schedule regular reboots of your routing device, smartphones, and computers.
  • Ensure that unauthorized individuals cannot gain physical access to your devices or regularly inspect the device for visual clues that may reveal a tampering attempt.

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.
