Siemens is preparing further updates and recommends the following mitigations until patches are available:
- Disable SNMP if this is supported by the product (refer to the product documentation). Disabling SNMP fully mitigates the vulnerability
- Protect network access to Port 161/UDP of affected devices
- Apply cell protection concept
- Use VPN for protecting network communication between cells
- Apply defense-in-depth
Siemens recommends users configure the operational environment according to Siemens’ Operational Guidelines for Industrial Security:
