AutomationDirect DirectLogic H2-DM1E

CVSS 8.8 HIGH

Risk Summary

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to inject traffic into an ongoing authenticated session or authenticate as a valid user.

Remediations

  • As part of their ongoing risk assessment, AutomationDirect has determined that the H2-DM1E, due to its age and inherent architectural limitations, can no longer be supported within the secure development lifecycle.
  • To address these challenges, AutomationDirect recommends the following mitigation strategies based on a thorough risk assessment:
  • Upgrade to the BRX platform: Transitioning to the BRX platform is strongly advised, as it is designed to meet current security standards and is actively maintained within AutomationDirect's secure development lifecycle.
  • Network segmentation and air gapping: To mitigate risks associated with the H2-DM1E, AutomationDirect recommends implementing network segmentation and air gapping. This strategy will isolate the older technology from the broader network, reducing its exposure to external threats and minimizing the impact of any security vulnerabilities.
  • Deploy a StrideLinx secure VPN platform: AutomationDirect also recommends placing the system behind a StrideLinx VPN platform.
  • These mitigation strategies provide a comprehensive approach to managing the risks associated with the H2-DM1E while preparing for future security needs. Please reach out to AutomationDirect if you have any further questions or require additional details on these recommendations.
