    Remediations
    MitigationJohnson Controls released fixed versions for EasyIO Neo Series EC and CW Controllers. 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.
    MitigationBefore 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. MitigationIf 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-cen ter/cybersecurity/resources .

    These mitigations reduce risk but may not fully remediate the vulnerability. Users should update to the fixed versions when operationally feasible.

    Remediations
    MitigationJohnson Controls released fixed versions for EasyIO Neo Series EC and CW Controllers. Users should upgrade to the fixed version or later as soon as operationally feasible. HTTP communication has been disabled by default in the latest version. The fix is available in EC firmware V3.3b64 andCW firmware V3.3b26. Contact your Johnson Controls representative or visitthe Johnson Controls Trust Center.
    MitigationBefore 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. MitigationIf immediate update is not possible, Johnson Controls recommends the following mitigations:

    Enable and enforce HTTPS/TLS for all web-based management access to the device. Disable HTTP access entirely.
    Place devices on an isolated, segmented network behind a firewall to limit exposure of management interfaces.
    Use a VPN when accessing devices remotely to encrypt all traffic in transit. Monitor network traffic for unencrypted sensitive data leaving the management interface.
    Restrict network access to management interfaces using access control lists (ACLs) to only trusted hosts. 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. MitigationUsers should review logs, network telemetry, device events, and security monitoring tools for activity involving EasyIO NEO versions EC and CW. Relevant detection information may include: Unencrypted HTTP traffic to or from the device management interface on port 80. Network captures showing cleartext credentials or session tokens in HTTP requests. Unexpected devices or IP addresses accessing the web management console. ARP spoofing or other man-in-the-middle indicators on the local network segment. Unauthorized configuration changes that may indicate credential interception.
