Summary
EcoStruxure™ Control Expert, EcoStruxure™ Process Expert and Modicon M340, M580 and M580 Safety PLCs
Notes
General Security Recommendations: We strongly recommend 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. For more information refer to the Schneider Electric [Recommended Cybersecurity Best Practices](https://www.se.com/us/en/download/document/7EN52-0390/) document.

Overview: Schneider Electric is aware of multiple vulnerabilities in its EcoStruxure™ Control Expert , EcoStruxure™ Process Expert and Modicon M340, M580 PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). Modicon PLCs control and monitor industrial operations. EcoStruxure™ Control Expert is the common programming, debugging and operating software for Modicon PLCs. EcoStruxure™ Process Expert DCS is a single automation system to engineer, operate, and maintain an entire plant Infrastructure. Failure to apply the remediations provided below may risk unauthorized access to your PLC, which could result in the possibility of denial of service and loss of confidentiality, integrity of the controller. Note regarding vulnerability details: The severity of vulnerabilities was calculated using the CVSS Base metrics in version 3.1 (CVSS v3.1) without incorporating the Temporal and Environmental metrics. Schneider Electric recommends that customers score the CVSS Environmental metrics, which are specific to end-user organizations, and consider factors such as the presence of mitigations in that environment. Environmental metrics may refine the relative severity posed by the vulnerabilities described in this document within a customer’s environment
The severity of vulnerabilities was calculated using the CVSS Base metrics for 4.0 ([CVSS v4.0](https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0)). CVSS v3.1 will be still evaluated until the adoption of CVSS v4.0 by the industry. The severity was calculated without incorporating the Temporal and Environmental metrics. Schneider Electric recommends that customers score the CVSS Environmental metrics, which are specific to end-user organizations, and consider factors such as the presence of mitigations in that environment. Environmental metrics may refine the relative severity posed by the vulnerabilities described in this document within a customer's environment.
Customers should use appropriate patching methodologies when applying these patches to their systems. We strongly recommend the use of back-ups and evaluating the impact of these patches in a Test and Development environment or on an offline infrastructure. Contact Schneider Electric's [Customer Care Center](https://www.se.com/us/en/work/support/contacts.jsp) if you need assistance removing a patch.

A CWE-924: Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel vulnerability exists that could cause a denial of service and loss of confidentiality, integrity of controllers when conducting a Man in the Middle attack.

In such cases, use IPsec encrypted communication. • To further reduce the attack surface on Modicon M580 CPU Safety: Ensure the CPU is running in Safety mode and maintenance input is configured to maintain this Safety mode during operation – refer to the document Modicon M580 - Safety System Planning Guide - in the chapter “Operating Mode Transitions”: https://www.se.com/ww/en/download/document/QGH60283/ https://www.se.com/ww/en/download/document/EIO000…
Mitigation Enable encryption on application project and store application files in secure location with restricted access only for legitimate users. • Schneider Electric recommends using McAfee Application and Change Control software for application control. Refer to the Cybersecurity Application Note available here. • Follow workstation, network and site-hardening guidelines in the Recommended Cybersecurity Best Practices available for download here. https://www.se.com/ww/en/download/document/EIO000…
Mitigation EcoStruxure Process Expert manages application files within its database in secure way. Do not export & store them outside the application. • Schneider Electric recommends using McAfee Application and Change Control software for application control. Refer to the Cybersecurity Application Note available here. • Follow workstation, network and site-hardening guidelines in the Recommended Cybersecurity Best Practices available for download here. https://www.se.com/ww/en/download/document/EIO000…

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.\n\nFor more information refer to the Schneider Electric [Recommended Cybersecurity Best Practices](https://www.se.com/us/en/download/document/7EN52-0390/) document.",
