Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-F Series (Update A)
Notes
Legal Notice: All information products included in https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ics are provided "as is" for informational purposes only. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any information contained within. DHS does not endorse any commercial product or service, referenced in this product or otherwise. Further dissemination of this product is governed by the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) marking in the header. For more information about TLP, see https://us-cert.cisa.gov/tlp/.
Risk evaluation: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition in Ethernet communication on the module by sending specially crafted SLMP packets. A system reset of the module is required for recovery.
Critical infrastructure sectors: Critical Manufacturing
Countries/areas deployed: Worldwide
Company headquarters location: Japan
Recommended Practices: CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability, such as: Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.
Recommended Practices: CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
Recommended Practices: CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Recommended Practices: CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.
Recommended Practices: Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Recommended Practices: Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
Recommended Practices: No known public exploitation specifically targeting this vulnerability has been reported to CISA at this time.
7.5 (High)

Mitigation
For users of the affected products, Mitsubishi Electric recommends using within a LAN and blocking access from untrusted networks and hosts through firewalls, to minimize the risk of exploiting this vulnerability.
Mitigation
For users of the affected products, Mitsubishi Electric recommends restricting physical access to the products, as well as to computers and network devices located within the same network as the products, to minimize the risk of exploiting this vulnerability.
Mitigation
For users of the affected products, Mitsubishi Electric recommends using a firewall or virtual private network (VPN), etc. to prevent unauthorized access when internet access is required, to minimize the risk of exploiting this vulnerability.
Mitigation
For users of the affected products, Mitsubishi Electric recommends using IP filter function to block access from untrusted hosts, to minimize the risk of exploiting this vulnerability. For details on the IP filter function, please refer to the manual (MELSEC iQ-F FX5 User's Manual (Communication) "13.1 IP Filter Function").
