Summary
FESTO Automation Suite, FluidDraw, and Festo Didactic Products

Notes

General recomendation
Users running communication over an untrusted network who require full protection should switch to an alternative solution such as running the communication over a VPN. Festo strongly recommends to minimize and protect network access to connected devices with state of the art techniques and processes. As part of a security strategy, Festo recommends the following general defense measures to reduce the risk of exploits: - Use devices only in a protected environment to minimize network exposure and ensure that they are not accessible from outside - Use firewalls to protect and separate the control system network from other networks - Use VPN (Virtual Private Networks) tunnels if remote access is required - Activate and apply user management and password features - Use encrypted communication links - Limit the access to both development and control system by physical means, operating system features, etc. - Protect both development and control system by using up to date virus detecting solutions
Summary
A vulnerability in the Wibu CodeMeter Runtime, which is part of the installation packages of several Festo products, was found. An attacker exploiting the vulnerability in WIBU CodeMeter Runtime in server mode could gain full access to the affected server via network access without any user interaction. This could lead to remote code execution and escalation of privileges giving full admin access on the host system for an already authenticated user (logged in locally to the PC).

Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the exploitation risk of these vulnerabilities.
Recommended Practices
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the internet.
Recommended Practices
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks.
Recommended Practices
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 recent version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as its connected devices.
Recommended Practices
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
Recommended Practices
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov. 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.
Recommended Practices
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 in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Recommended Practices
Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
