Recommended Practices: Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage on us-cert.cisa.gov in the Technical Information Paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
Exploitability: No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability. This vulnerability is not exploitable remotely.
7.5 (High)
Mitigation
Hitachi ABB Power Grids recommends users update to Version 6.3.1 or later.
Mitigation
Hitachi ABB Power Grids also recommends implementing security best practices and firewall configurations, which help protect a process control network from attacks that originate from outside the network.
Mitigation
Ensuring critical applications and systems are physically protected from direct access by unauthorized personnel, have no direct connections to the Internet, and are separated from other networks by means of a firewall.
Mitigation
Firewalls should be configured to have the minimum number of ports exposed and open ports should be justified and documented.
Mitigation
Critical systems should not be used for Internet surfing, instant messaging, or receiving e-mails.
Mitigation
Portable computers and removable storage media should be carefully scanned for viruses before they are connected to a control system.
Mitigation
It is important to implement robust security awareness training to ensure users can identify common attacks or content such as phishing emails or malicious webpages.
Mitigation
