Also \nrecognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.\n\n * Investigate the practicality of configuring and deploying an \nintrusion detection system (IDS) to log and monitor the control system \nnetwork, as well as adjacent networks.\n\n * Configure, activate, and test existing defenses, such as port \nsecurity and traffic logging, among other defensive strategies in the \nrecommended practices document listed below."}],"x_generator":{"engine":"Vulnogram 0.2.0"},"x_legacyV4Record":{"CVE_data_meta":{"ASSIGNER":"ics-cert@hq.dhs.gov","ID":"CVE-2014-0769","STATE":"PUBLIC"},"affects":{"vendor":{"vendor_data":[{"product":{"product_data":[{"product_name":"n/a","version":{"version_data":[{"version_value":"n/a"}]}}]},"vendor_name":"n/a"}]}},"data_format":"MITRE","data_type":"CVE","data_version":"4.0","description":{"description_data":[{"lang":"eng","value":"The Festo CECX-X-C1 Modular Master Controller with CoDeSys and CECX-X-M1 Modular Controller with CoDeSys and SoftMotion do not require authentication for connections to certain TCP ports, which allows remote attackers to (1) modify the configuration via a request to the debug service on port 4000 or (2) delete log entries via a request to the log service on port 4001."}]},"problemtype":{"problemtype_data":[{"description":[{"lang":"eng","value":"n/a"}]}]},"references":{"reference_data":[{"name":"http://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories/ICSA-14-084-01","refsource":"MISC","url":"http://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories/ICSA-14-084-01"}]}}},"adp":[{"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2024-08-06T09:27:19.529Z"},"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred"],"url":"http://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories/ICSA-14-084-01"}]}]},"cveMetadata":{"assignerOrgId":"7d14cffa-0d7d-4270-9dc0-52cabd5a23a6","assignerShortName":"icscert","cveId":"CVE-2014-0769","datePublished":"2014-04-25T01:00:00.000Z","dateReserved":"2014-01-02T00:00:00.000Z","dateUpdated":"2025-07-02T20:26:44.615Z","state":"PUBLISHED"},"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.1"}
