  • Until updates can be applied, Siemens recommends the following steps to mitigate the risk: Always run WinCC, WinCC Runtime Professional, and PCS 7 stations within a trusted network.
  • Ensure that WinCC, WinCC Runtime Professional, and PCS 7 stations communicate via encrypted channels only (e.g., activate feature “Encrypted Communications” in WinCC V7.3 and PCS 7 V8.1 SP1, or establish a VPN tunnel).
  • Restrict access to the WinCC, WinCC Runtime Professional and PCS 7 stations to trusted entities.
  • Apply up-to-date application whitelisting software and virus scanners.
  • For more information on these vulnerabilities and more detailed mitigation instructions, please see Siemens Security Advisory SSA-378531 at the following location: (http://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm)
  • As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends protecting network access to the WinCC and PCS 7 stations with appropriate mechanisms.
