Patch information

When using automation components, make sure that no unauthorized access can take place. In addition, measures should be taken to ensure that the components do not have direct access to Internet resources and that they cannot be accessed from insecure networks. Use available security measures such as authentication and authorization groups. PLC with firmware V6.1.8 http interface can be disabled.

IACS Radar priority score

47/ 100

Based on CVSS 7.5, EPSS 0.5%, industrial relevance 60/100.

Combines CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, industrial relevance and exposure relevance — a complement to, not a replacement for, the individual scores below and above.

Conditions for exploitation

•Network access to the affected device or segment is required.
•No valid credentials are needed.
•No user interaction required.

Operational impact & energy relevance

Possible loss of visibility of or control over the process upon successful exploitation.

Assessed as relevant to the energy sector based on: Vermeld in een officiële CISA ICS Advisory, wat directe relevantie voor industriële besturingssystemen bevestigt. Productbeschrijving komt overeen met de categorie "PLC", een typisch OT/ICS-componenttype.

Recommended defensive measures

•Change default or hardcoded credentials and restrict access to the management interface.
•Restrict network access to the affected device to a dedicated OT management segment.
•Implement network segmentation in line with zones and conduits (IEC 62443-3-2).
•Monitor for abnormal protocol traffic using an OT-aware detection system.

Industrial relevance score

60/ 100

• Mentioned in an official CISA ICS advisory, which confirms direct relevance to industrial control systems.
• Product description matches the category "PLC", a typical OT/ICS component type.

Automatically classified as industrially relevant based on CISA/NVD signals (see reasons).

Classified by IACS Radar-analysepijplijn (geautomatiseerd) on 7 November 2026.
