Siemens has identified the following specific mitigations that customers can apply to reduce the risk:
Configure a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Reverse Proxy
If complete blocking of internet access is not immediately feasible, you can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or a Reverse Proxy to block the affected path. Please configure your WAF or Reverse Proxy to block the following path:
/auth/realms/customer/login-actions/reset-credentials
Please note that by blocking this path, the password reset functionality will be unavailable.
Block direct internet access to IEM Pro / IEM Virtual
The most effective immediate measure is to block direct internet access to your IEM Pro or IEM V instance. This ensures that no external attacks can occur via this vulnerability.
Deactivate Password Reset in Keycloak Realm Settings
Deactivate the password reset functionality directly within the Keycloak realm settings. To do this, navigate to:
Identity & access management > realm settings > Login > Forgot password > Off
Please note that by deactivating this setting, the password reset functionality will be unavailable.
Product-specific remediations or mitigations can be found in the section

Please follow the General Security Recommendations.
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
