Schneider Electric is establishing a remediation plan to fix these vulnerabilities in current and future versions of Modicon PAC controllers. Schneider Electric will update SEVD-2020-315-01 when the remediation is available. Until then, users should immediately apply the following mitigations to reduce the risk of exploit:

- Disable FTP via UnityPro / Ecostruxure Control Expert. This is disabled by default when a new application is created.
- Configure the access control list via Ecostruxure Control Expert programming tool.
- Set up network segmentation and implement a firewall to block all unauthorized access to Port 21/TCP.

Schneider Electric’s Modicon Premium and Modicon Quantum controllers have reached their end of life and are no longer commercially available. They have been replaced by the Modicon M580 ePAC controller.
