Solution

Mitigation

  • Use general security best practices to protect systems from local and network attacks.
  • Disable the container type “Mass Storage” in CodeMeter via the Windows Registry.

Remediation

We strongly encourage e!COCKPIT and WAGO-I/O-Pro (CODESYS 2.3) users to update WIBU-SYSTEMS Codemeter by installing the latest available stand-alone WIBU-SYSTEMS Codemeter Version.

WAGO will provide updated e!COCKPIT setup routines (Version 1.11) with the latest WIBU- SYSTEMS Codemeter version in Q2/2022.

Additionally WAGO will provide a security patch for e!COCKPIT Version 1.10 in February 2022.
WAGO will provide updated WAGO-I/O-Pro (CODESYS 2.3) (Version 2.3.9.68) setup routines with the latest WIBU-SYSTEMS Codemeter version in Q1/2022.
