"The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original
can be found at CISA.gov.
Siemens has released updates for the affected products and recommends updating to the latest version:
- SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controller (incl. SIPLUS variants): Update to v21.8
- SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller: Update to v21.8
Siemens notes that if the PC Station web server does not restart automatically, a Windows reboot is required. This can
be done while the control system is running as the PLC control functionality is not affected.
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends users protect network access to devices with appropriate
mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends users configure the
environment according to SiemensΓ’ΒΒ operational guidelines for industrial security and follow the recommendations in the
product manuals.
