Vendor Solution

Schneider Electric has produced an updated firmware, labelled V1.60 IR 04. This firmware release moves the jar files directory in a secure area. The new firmware also includes the ability to disable the FTP server. This updated firmware can be downloaded at: http://www.schneider-electric.com/download/WW/EN/details/681790255-TSXETG30xx-V160-IR4/?showAsIframe... http://www.schneider-electric.com/download/WW/EN/details/681790255-TSXETG30xx-V160-IR4/


Vendor Workaround

Schneider Electric recommends the FTP server be deactivated when not needed. The firmware update does not remove the hard-coded credentials. Narendra Shinde also found that configuration files were accessible using default credentials. Schneider Electric recommends users change the default login credentials. This will protect configuration files from unauthorized access.
