Solution

The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original can be found at CISA.gov.

WAGO recommends updating to the latest firmware, FW 15 or above. WAGO has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce the risk:

- The I/O-Check service protocol is only needed during installation and commissioning, not during normal operations.
- It is highly recommended to disable IP Port 6626 after commissioning.
- Disable unused TCP/UDP-ports.
- Restrict network access to the device.
- Do not directly connect the device to the Internet.
