If you cannot patch yet, manual restart of the PLCnext service is required to restore communication after an attack. Network-level protections such as limiting access to the PLCnext Engineer interface may reduce exposure.
Description
An unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability in the device's PLCnext Engineer communication interface allow an remote attacker to interrupt access via the client application. Successful exploitation prevents communication until the PLCnext service is manually restarted.
