Users should upgrade to the fixed version or later as soon as operationally feasible. The fix is available in EC firmware V3.3b64 and CW firmware V3.3b26. Contact your Johnson Controls representative or authorized EasyIO distributor. Mitigation Before applying updates in production ICS/OT environments, users should review operational impact, backup relevant configurations, test updates in a non-production environment where feasible, and follow applicable change-management and safety procedures. Mitigation If immediate update is not possible, Johnson Controls recommends the following mitigations: Implement physical access controls to prevent unauthorized personnel from reaching device debug ports. Monitor network traffic to and from affected devices for unusual or unauthorized access attempts. Apply the principle of least privilege to all accounts and services that interact with the affected devices. Where possible, apply firmware updates that disable debug interfaces or require authentication before granting debug access. Implement intrusion detection/prevention systems to monitor for exploitation attempts. Refer to and follow all steps in the product hardening guide or the JCI universal hardening guide found here: https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/trust-center/cybersecurity/resources . These mitigations reduce risk but may not fully remediate the vulnerability. Users should update to the fixed versions when operationally feasible.
