Rockwell recommends updating to the newest firmware patches to fix the vulnerabilities, but if not able to do so right away, then Rockwell advises immediately employing the following mitigations for each of the affected products.

To mitigate the vulnerabilities pertaining to receiving valid CIP packets:

  1. Block all traffic to the Ethernet/IP or other CIP protocol-based devices from outside the Manufacturing Zone by restricting or blocking access to TCP and UDP Ports 2222 and 44818 using appropriate security technology such as a firewall or Unified Threat Management (UTM).
  2. Employ a UTM appliance that specifically supports CIP message filtering.
\n\n

In addition to the above, Rockwell recommends concerned customers remain vigilant and continue to follow security strategies that help reduce risk and enhance overall control system security. Where possible, they suggest you apply multiple recommendations and complement this list with your own best-practices:

  1. Employ layered security and defense-in-depth methods in system design to restrict and control access to individual products and control networks. Refer to http://www.ab.com/networks/architectures.html for comprehensive information about implementing validated architectures designed to deliver these measures.
  2. Restrict physical and electronic access to automation products, networks, and systems to only those individuals authorized to be in contact with control system equipment.
  3. Employ firewalls with ingress/egress filtering, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and validate all configurations. Evaluate firewall configurations to ensure other appropriate inbound and outbound traffic is blocked.
  4. Use up-to-date end-point protection software (e.g., antivirus/antimalware software) on all PC-based assets.
  5. Make sure that software and control system device firmware is patched to current releases.
  6. Periodically change passwords in control system components and infrastructure devices.
  7. Where applicable, set the controller key-switch/mode-switch to RUN mode.
