03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation
Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
SSVC decision
  • ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
  • AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
  • Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.
EPSS probability
0.25% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 16.1% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
7.8 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation

Omron recommends updating to the latest version: Omron CX-Programmer: Update to v9.78 Should assistance be needed for the update process, users should contact Omron. Omron provides additional mitigations to reduce the risk: Use antivirus protection by protecting any PC with access to the control system against malware and ensure installation and maintenance of up-to-date commercial grade antivirus software protection. Use strong passwords and change them frequently. Install physical controls, allowing only authorized personnel access to control systems and equipment. Perform virus scans to ensure safety of any USB drives or similar devices before connecting to systems and devices. Enforce multifactor authentication on all devices with remote access to control systems and equipment whenever possible. Perform validation processing, such as backup and range checks, to cope with unintentional modification of input/output data to control systems and devices. Perform periodic data backup and maintenance to prepare for data loss.
