07 Remediation
Customers using Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® Service Platform are encouraged to apply the risk mitigations, if possible. Additionally, we encourage customers to implement our suggested security best practices to minimize the risk of vulnerability. * Update to v6.40 or later. * Set DCOM authentication level to 6, Mitigating Microsoft DCOM Hardening Patch (CVE-2021-26414) for Affected Rockwell Automation Products (custhelp.com) https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1134040 * When it is not possible to update to v6.40 or later, enable verification of the publisher information (i.e., digital signature) of any executable attempting to use the FactoryTalk® Services APIs. This helps prevent a malicious user from calling the API to receive the service token. This setting can be changed from the Application Authorization node located within System Policies using the FactoryTalk® Administration Console application. * Security Best Practices https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1085012/loc/en_US#__highlight
