Refer to PTC knowledge article CS360255\nProvide a unique password in the AxedaDesktop.ini file for each unit.\nNever use ERemoteServer in production.\nMake sure to delete ERemoteServer file from host device.\nRemove the installation file, for example: Gateway_vs2017-en-us-x64-pc-winnt-vc14-6.9.3-1051.msi\nWhen running in Windows or Linux, only allow connections to ERemoteServer from trusted hosts and block all others.\nWhen running the Windows operating system, configure Localhost communications (127.0.0.1) between ERemoteServer and Axeda Builder. Refer to PTC knowledge article CS360255\nConfigure the Axeda agent for the authentication information required to log in to the Axeda Deployment Utility. Refer to PTC knowledge article CS360255\nPTC recommends upgrading the Axeda Desktop Server (ADS) to Version 6.9 build 215\n\nThe Axeda agent loopback-only configuration is only available in Version 6.9.1 and above.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
