Siemens has released a firmware update (Version 4) and security advisory SSA-283911 (https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-283911.pdf) for the OZW672 and OZW772 devices that enforces a password change at initial login. (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/41929231/130000) Users may upgrade to this firmware version, but this is not required to change the default password on existing devices. Siemens urges customers to set a secure password on the web interface for all network devices.
