Remediations

  • Users upgrade Tracer SC controllers running firmware v3.8 and prior, to firmware v4.4 SP7 or higher. Users should contact a regional Trane office to install updated firmware or request additional information and reference Trane service database number HUB-207592.
  • Tracer SC is no longer actively developed, tested, or sold. Tracer SC will be considered end-of-life on December 31, 2022. Trane recommends users identify a migration plan to replace the Tracer SC controller with the Tracer SC+ controller, which can function as a drop-in replacement for Tracer SC, providing significant security upgrades.
  • Restrict physical controller access to trained and trusted personnel.
  • Isolate Tracer controls from other network devices using virtual local area networks (VLAN), and from the Internet using a firewall with no exposed inbound ports.
  • Use secure remote access solutions such as Trane Connect Remote Access.
  • Ensure user credentials are not shared and follow best practices for appropriate complexity (e.g., strong passwords).
  • Have a well-documented process and owner to ensure regular software/firmware updates and to keep systems up to date.
