  • If users choose not to apply the remediation provided above, they should immediately apply the following mitigations to reduce the risk of exploit:
  • Only accept incoming connections from machines, which names have been added as a station in the IGSS System Configuration module by setting the registry key called “MatchWinName” to 1 under: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SchneiderElectric\IGSS32\V15.00.00\DC_HKLM\”
  • Follow the general security recommendation below and verify devices are isolated on a private network and firewalls are configured with strict boundaries for devices that require remote access.
