Affected Vendors

Siemens

Affected Products

  • SIMATIC S7-300 CPU family (incl. related ET200 CPUs and SIPLUS variants) All versions
  • SIMATIC S7-400 CPU family (incl. SIPLUS variants) All versions

Remediation

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce the risk:

  • Apply defense-in-depth concepts.
  • Apply cell protection concepts.
  • For SIMATIC S7-CPU 410 CPUs: Activate field interface security in PCS 7 v9.0, and use a CP443-1 Adv. to communicate with ES/OS.
