Remediation

Vendor solution

Asset owners should always obtain a signed web certificate from a certified authority before deploying ClearSCADA Web Server in a production environment.

To assist asset owners who are currently using self-signed certificates, a standalone utility will be made available that can be used to generate and deploy a new self-signed certificate (signed using an SHA signing algorithm). This utility is recommended for existing ClearSCADA systems subject to this vulnerability, removing the need to upgrade the ClearSCADA software and perform a manual generation of a new certificate. This utility will be made available within the Software Downloads section of the following ClearSCADA Resource Center page:
