Andrea Micalizzi aka rgod (@rgod777) working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative reported these vulnerabilities to AutomationDirect.
4. MITIGATIONS
To resolve these vulnerabilities AutomationDirect recommends that users update C-MORE EA9 HMI to V6.79.
If an immediate update is not feasible, AutomationDirect recommends considering the following interim steps until the programming software can be updated:

Isolate the Engineering Workstation:

Disconnect the workstation from external networks (e.g., internet or corporate LAN) to limit exposure to external threats.
Use dedicated, secure internal networks or air-gapped systems for communication with programmable devices.

Control Access:

Restrict physical and logical access to the workstation to authorized personnel only.
Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and robust password policies for user accounts.

Implement Whitelisting:

Use application whitelisting to allow only pre-approved and trusted software to execute on the workstation.
Block untrusted or unauthorized applications.

Apply Endpoint Security Measures:

Use antivirus or endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to monitor for and mitigate threats.
Ensure that host-based firewalls are properly configured to block unauthorized access.

Monitor and Log Activity:

Enable logging and monitoring of system activities to detect potential anomalies or unauthorized actions.
Regularly review logs for suspicious activity.

Harden the Workstation:

Remove or disable unnecessary services and software to reduce the attack surface.
Implement security configurations, such as disabling autorun for USB drives or restricting administrative privileges.

Use Secure Backup and Recovery:

Regularly back up the workstation and its configurations to a secure location.
Test recovery procedures to ensure minimal downtime in the event of an incident.

Conduct Regular Risk Assessments:

Continuously assess the risks posed by the outdated software and adjust mitigation measures as necessary.

 ​CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

CVE-2024-51378 CyberPanel Incorrect Default Permissions Vulnerability

These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.
Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.
Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.

BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.
Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria. 

CISA has added three new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

• CVE-2023-45727 North Grid Proself Improper Restriction of XML External Entity (XEE) Reference Vulnerability
• CVE-2024-11680 ProjectSend Improper Authentication Vulnerability
• CVE-2024-11667 Zyxel Multiple Firewalls Path Traversal Vulnerability

Users and administrators are also encouraged to review the Palo Alto Threat Brief: Operation Lunar Peek related to CVE-2024-0012, the Palo Alto Security Bulletin for CVE-2024-0012, and the Palo Alto Security Bulletin for CVE-2024-9474 for additional information.

CISA recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks:

• Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages.
• Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams.
• Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information on social engineering attacks.

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/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.

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