WAGO: Vulnerability in hardware switch circuit

The vulnerability in the Ethernet switch circuit is caused by a PullUp resistor at the reset input, leading to premature activation and undefined operation. Switching to a PullDown resistor keeps the switch in reset. This issue affects the CC100, the Touch Panels 600 and the Edge Controller.

The vulnerability causes the Ethernet switch to operate in an undefined state due to early activation, leading to unstable system behavior and potential connectivity issues.

To address this vulnerability, it is recommended to utilize a newer hardware revision equipped with Firmware 04.08.05 (FW30). This firmware version is designed to resolve the issue by properly managing the switch activation and configuration process on the revised hardware. It is important to note that older firmware versions will not resolve the problem on the new hardware revision, and therefore upgrading both the hardware and firmware is necessary for an effective remediation.
