CISA Releases Security Advisories Related to OT:ICEFALL (Insecure by Design) Report


CISA is aware that Forescout researchers have released OT:ICEFALL, a report on 56 vulnerabilities caused by insecure-by-design practices in operational technology across multiple vendors. The vulnerabilities are divided into four main categories: insecure engineering protocols, weak cryptography or broken authentication schemes, insecure firmware updates and remote code execution via native functionality.

CISA has released five corresponding Industrial Controls Systems Advisories (ICSAs) currently to provide notice of the reported vulnerabilities and identify baseline mitigations for reducing risks to these and other cybersecurity attacks.  

CISA encourages users and administrators to review the OT:ICEFALL report as well as the following ICSAs for technical details and mitigations.
