4. MITIGATIONS
Mitsubishi Electric recommends that users take the following mitigating measures to minimize the risk of exploiting this
vulnerability.
Use a firewall, virtual private network (VPN), etc. to prevent unauthorized access when internet access is required.
Install anti-virus software on your PC that can access the product.
Use within a LAN and block access from untrusted networks and hosts through firewalls.
Restrict physical access to the affected product and the LAN to which the product is connected.
Use IP filter function*1 to block access from untrusted hosts.
IP filter function is available for M800V/M80V Series and M800/M80/E80 Series.
For details about the IP filter function, please refer to the following manual for each product: M800V/M80V Series Instruction Manual “16. Appendix 3 IP Address Filter Setting Function” and M800/M80/E80 Series Instruction Manual “15. Appendix 2 IP Address Filter Setting Function”
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.
For additional information see Mitsubishi Electric advisory.
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics.
