3.4 RESEARCHER

Borja Merino and Eduardo Villaverde of the Technical Inspection Laboratory of
the Mining School (University of Leon), through Adenda 2, coordinated this
vulnerability with Carlos del Canto and Victor Fidalgo of INCIBE-CERT's
Industrial Cybersecurity Team.

4. MITIGATIONS

This product is end-of-life and is no longer supported.

SMA recommends deactivation of port forwarding as it is not required for
monitoring PV systems via the SMA Sunny Portal. If direct access to a system
from the Internet is necessary, SMA recommends using an encrypted virtual
private network (VPN). On delivery, any saved default passwords should also be
replaced with individual secure passwords, and unused ports on the system/
router should be closed.

SMA installers and administrators can answer specific questions about
individual configuration of SMA devices. Basic information on this topic can
also be found at: https://files.sma.de/dl/7680/CyberSecurity-TI-en-10.pdf

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 us-cert.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 us-cert.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.

CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves
