Description Preview
Overview
The vulnerability stems from missing or improper verification of firmware package signatures, permitting attackers who already have high privileges (administrator-level access to the device/application services) to deploy arbitrary firmware. Affected products are Copeland LP E3 Supervisory Control firmware versions less than 2.31F01. Exploitation requires administrative privileges on the target device or its management interface but can lead to full device compromise, local code execution (CAPEC-549), and disruption of device operation. The issue was discovered and credited to Armis Labs.
Remediation
Upgrade affected E3 Supervisory Controls to firmware version 2.31F01 or later (per vendor guidance > 2.30F1). As an interim mitigation, restrict access to the E3 ETH0 management interface using a dedicated VLAN or subnet and network firewall rules to ensure it is never reachable from untrusted networks. Limit and monitor administrative access, rotate credentials used for device management, maintain secure backup and rollback procedures, and apply network segmentation and logging to detect unauthorized upgrade attempts. Implement or verify cryptographic signature validation for firmware updates when supported.
