Siemens recommends users upgrade to V7.90 where available and apply the following specific mitigations:

SIPROTEC 5 device types 6MD85, 6MD86, 6MD89, 7UM85, 7SA87, 7SD87, 7SL87, 7VK87, 7SA82, 7SA86, 7SD82, 7SD86, 7SL82, 7SL86, 7SJ86, 7SK82, 7SK85, 7SJ82, 7SJ85, 7UT82, 7UT85, 7UT86, 7UT87 and 7VE85 with CPU variants CP300 and CP100 and the respective Ethernet communication modules:

- Update to firmware Version 7.90. Search for ‘SIPROTEC 5 - DIGSI Device Drivers v7.90’ on the Siemens Industry Online Support site. Firmware Version 7.90 for the communication modules can also be found on each device specific download page. Applying the update causes the device / module to go through a single restart cycle.

DIGSI 5 engineering software:

- Update to DIGSI 5 v7.90 and activate the client authorization feature.

SIPROTEC 5 with CPU variants CP200 and the respective Ethernet communication modules

- CVE-2019-10931: Update to firmware v7.59. Search for ‘SIPROTEC 5 - DIGSI Device Drivers v7.59’ on the Siemens Industry Online Support site. The firmware version v7.59 for the communication modules can also be found on each device specific download page. Applying the update causes the device/module to go through a single restart cycle.

SIPROTEC 5 device types 7SS85 and 7KE85:

- Update to Version 8.01 or later. Search for ‘SIPROTEC 5 - DIGSI Device Drivers’ on the Siemens Industry Online Support site. Applying the update causes the device/module to go through a single restart cycle.

DIGSI 5 engineering software:

- Update to DIGSI 5 v7.90 and activate the client authorization feature.

SIPROTEC 5 with CPU variants CP200 and the respective Ethernet communication modules

- CVE-2019-10931: Update to firmware v7.59. Search for ‘SIPROTEC 5 - DIGSI Device Drivers v7.59’ on the Siemens Industry Online Support site. The firmware version v7.59 for the communication modules can also be found on each device specific download page. Applying the update causes the device/module to go through a single restart cycle.

All other SIPROTEC 5 device types with CPU variants CP300, CP200, and CP100 and the respective Ethernet communication modules:

- Block access to Port 443/TCP e.g., with an external firewall.
- Activate role-based access control (RBAC) in the device (supported in SIPROTEC 5 firmware v7.80 and higher).
- Activate the DIGSI 5 connection password in the device (supported in all SIPROTEC 5 firmware versions).
