Vulnerability from csaf_abb - Published: 2025-01-15 00:30 - Updated: 2025-01-16 00:30
Summary
Automation Runtime and mapp View Use of insecure algorithm for self-signed certificates

Notes

Summary
An update is available that resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the product versions listed as affected in this advisory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability may masquerade as services on affected devices.
Workarounds
The mechanism of creating self signed certificates on B&R Automation Runtime and B&R mapp View during bootup is only intended for testing and not for production machines. Please use always a proper SSL/TLS configuration in B&R Automation Studio including certificates signed by a trusted certificate authority for machines used in production environments.
General security recommendations
For any installation of software related B&R products we strongly recommend the following (non-exhaustive) list of cyber security practices: – Isolate special purpose networks (e.g. for automation systems) and remote devices behind firewalls and separate them from any general purpose network (e.g. office or home networks). – Install physical controls so no unauthorized personnel can access your devices, components, peripheral equipment, and networks. – Never connect programming software or computers containing programing software to any network other than the network for the devices that it is intended for. – Scan all data imported into your environment before use to detect potential malware infections. – Minimize network exposure for all applications and endpoints to ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet unless they are designed for such exposure and the intended use requires such. – Ensure all nodes are always up to date in terms of installed software, operating system, and firmware patches as well as anti-virus and firewall. – When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Recognize that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also, understand that VPNs are only as secure as the connected devices. More information on recommended practices can be found in the reference section (Defense in Depth for B&R products )
Support
For additional instructions and support please contact your local B&R service organization. For contact information, see https://www.br-automation.com/en/about-us/locations/. Information about ABB’s cyber security program and capabilities can be found at www.abb.com/cybersecurity
