EcoStruxure™ Control Expert, EcoStruxure™ Process Expert and Modicon M340, M580 and M580 CPU Safety
Notes
General Security Recommendations: We strongly recommend the following industry cybersecurity best practices.
https://www.se.com/us/en/download/document/7EN52-0390/
* Locate control and safety system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from the business network.
* Install physical controls so no unauthorized personnel can access your industrial control and safety systems, components, peripheral equipment, and networks.
* Place all controllers in locked cabinets and never leave them in the “Program” mode.
* Never connect programming software to any network other than the network intended for that device.
* Scan all methods of mobile data exchange with the isolated network such as CDs, USB drives, etc. before use in the terminals or any node connected to these networks.
* Never allow mobile devices that have connected to any other network besides the intended network to connect to the safety or control networks without proper sanitation.
* Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and systems and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
* 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.
For more information refer to the Schneider Electric Recommended Cybersecurity Best Practices document.
For More Information: This document provides an overview of the identified vulnerability or vulnerabilities and actions required to mitigate. For more details and assistance on how to protect your installation, contact your local Schneider Electric representative or Schneider Electric Industrial Cybersecurity Services: https://www.se.com/ww/en/work/solutions/cybersecurity/.

Overview: Schneider Electric is aware of multiple vulnerabilities in its EcoStruxure™ Control Expert, Modicon M340, Momentum, MC80, M580 and M580 CPU Safety. The Modicon M580 are PAC and Safety PLCs with built-in Ethernet for process, high availability & safety solutions. The Modicon M340 offers compactness, flexibility, scalability, and robustness for the process industry and a wide range of demanding automation applications. The Modicon MC80 provides optimized operation, withstanding extreme conditions with high reliability and performance. The Modicon Momentum supports control and distributed I/O system with 4 fundamental components that easily snap together in various combinations to form versatile control systems or sub-systems. EcoStruxure™ Control Expert is the common programming, debugging and operating software for Modicon PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and PACs (Programmable Automation Controllers). Failure to apply the mitigations provided below may risk unauthorized access to your PLC, which could result in the possibility of denial of service and loss of confidentiality and integrity of the controller.
Customers should use appropriate patching methodologies when applying these patches to their systems. We strongly recommend the use of back-ups and evaluating the impact of these patches in a Test and Development environment or on an offline infrastructure. Contact Schneider Electric's [Customer Care Center](https://www.se.com/us/en/work/support/contacts.jsp) if you need assistance removing a patch.
A CWE-294: Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay vulnerability exists that could cause execution of unauthorized Modbus functions on the controller when hijacking an authenticated Modbus session.
