Mitsubishi Electric recommends users who are using a product that has not
released a fixed version or who cannot immediately update the product, take the
following mitigations to minimize risk:

  o Install the fixed version of FR Configurator2 running the products on
    workstations when communicating with FREQROL. FR Configurator2 provides
    comprehensive countermeasures that give the same countermeasure effect to
    other products.
  o Install the fixed version of GT Designer3 on workstations running the
    products when communicating with GOT. GT Designer3 provides comprehensive
    countermeasures that give the same countermeasure effect to other products.
  o Install the fixed version of GX Works3 on the computer running the products
    when communicating with MELSEC. Fixed software products that communicate
    with GOT and FREQROL are currently under development. GX Works3 provides
    comprehensive countermeasures that deliver the same countermeasures to
    other products.
  o Operate the products under an account that does not have administrator's
    privileges.
  o Install antivirus software in the computer running the products.
  o Restrict network exposure for all control system devices or systems to the
    minimum necessary, and ensure they are not accessible from untrusted
    networks and hosts.
  o Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and
    isolate them from the business network.
  o Use virtual private network (VPN) when remote access is required.

Refer to the Mitsubishi Electric advisory for details on how to check firmware
version.

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of these vulnerabilities. CISA reminds organizations to perform
proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive
measures.

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices
on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov . Several recommended practices are available
for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems
Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies .

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available
on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies .

Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking
and correlation against other incidents.

No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
