Remediation

Information

Delta Electronics has released an updated version of CNCSoft and recommends users install v1.01.31 and later on all affected systems. Delta Electronics recommends users should apply the following mitigations to reduce the risk of exploit: Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the Internet.
