Barak Hadad, Head of Research at Armis, told Help Net Security that since a firmware upgrade requires some downtime in some of the models, Schneider Electric/APC cannot risk pushing patches/updates on the connected devices without the customers’ say-so, so they should patch on their own.
“Besides that, there are multiple mitigations that users can deploy that mitigate the risk significantly,” he added.
