Remedy
The Web-Based Management is only needed during installation and commissioning, not during normal operations. It is recommended to disable the web server after commissioning. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is an alternative for commissioning the device. This is the easiest and securest way to protect your device from the listed vulnerabilities. Regardless of the action described above, the vulnerabilities are fixed with following firmware releases: Item number [FW version] 0852-0303 (HW < 3)* [V1.2.5.S0] Detailed information about the hardware version is described in the installation guide. 0852-0303 (HW >=3)* [V1.2.3.S1] Detailed information about the hardware version is described in the installation guide. 0852-1305 [V1.1.8.S0] 0852-1505 [V1.1.7.S0] 0852-1305/000-001 [V1.1.4.S0] 0852-1505/000-001 [V1.1.4.S0]
