The vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting the allowed login authentication type "CmpUserMgr/UserLogin_AuthenticationType" to "ONLY_ASYMMETRIC". This can be configured either via the Device Security Settings dialog in the CODESYS Development System or directly in the configuration file of the CODESYS Control runtime system (CODESYSControl.cfg) by adding the following setting: [CmpUserMgr] SECURITY.UserLogin_AuthenticationType=ONLY_ASYMMETRIC With this configuration in place, both potential attackers and legacy CODESYS protocol clients (prior to version 3.5.16.0) will be blocked from logging in, thereby preventing execution of the vulnerable code path.
