Manufacturers using ProConOS/ProConOS eCLR in their automation devices are advised to check their implementation and may publish an advisory according to their product. Users of automation devices utilizing ProConOS/ProConOS eCLR in their automation systems may check if their application requires additional security measures like an adequate defense– in-depth networking architecture, the use of virtual private networks (VPNs) for remote access, as well as the use of firewalls for network segmentation or controller isolation. Users should check their manufacturers security advisories for more adequate information according to their dedicated device. Generic information and recommendations for security measures to protect network-capabledevices can be found in the application note.

Phoenix Contact Software designed the applications and protocols without authentication mechanisms. It is the understanding of Phoenix Contact Software that vendors using the application software and its protocol would incorporate its own authentication mechanism in its final product. Phoenix Contact Software is considering adding authentication software into future versions of its application software and its protocol.

Hitachi Energy is publishing this cybersecurity advisory in response to the security findings reported by Dragos affecting end-of-life RTU500 CMU firmware version 9.x. The reported findings are associated with legacy RTU500 firmware versions that were developed according to the cybersecurity requirements, threat landscape, and industry practices that existed at the time of their release. As cybersecurity threats and security expectations have evolved, these end-of-life versions no longer incorporate many of the security controls and hardening measures that are standard in modern industrial control systems. Over successive RTU500 releases, Hitachi Energy has continuously enhanced the security of the product through the introduction of additional security features, protocol hardening, stronger authentication and access controls, encrypted communications, and other security-by-design improvements. While the findings reported by Dragos do not affect currently supported RTU500 CMU firmware versions, there is a likelihood that the end-of-life versions 11.x and prior are affected by these vulnerabilities. Since the end-of-life versions are no longer maintained with security updates, Hitachi Energy strongly recommends upgrading to a currently supported RTU500 firmware version. Customers should also implement appropriate defense-in-depth measures and cybersecurity best practices to reduce risk and strengthen the security posture of their operational environments. Please refer to the Recommended Immediate Actions for information about the mitigation/remediation.
