description

Advantech ADAM-3600 devices are affected by an authentication-bypass vulnerability in their proprietary protocol. An attacker able to reach the protocol may be able to bypass its authentication mechanism.

mitigation

Restrict access to the ADAM-3600 proprietary protocol to trusted management networks and segment affected devices from untrusted networks. Check the vendor advisory for an update or additional hardening guidance; no fixed version is recorded in the available evidence.
