Solution

The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original can be found at CISA.gov.

Siemens recommends upgrading all X-300 switch family devices to v4.1.4 or later.

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce the risk:

- Restrict access to the affected systems, especially to Ports 22/TCP, 161/UDP, and 443/TCP and use trusted IP addresses only.
- Disable SNMP service, if possible.
- Deactivate the webserver if not required, and if deactivation is supported by the product.

As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends protecting network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends users configure the environment according to the Siemens operational guidelines for industrial security and follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
