Moxa’s Response Regarding the Intel Management Engine Vulnerability

Published: August 9, 2018

This Alert Is From MOXA

As Industrial IoT (IIoT) adoption continues to proliferate, cybersecurity has become one of the top priorities. The Moxa Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) takes a proactive approach to protect products from cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Moxa PSIRT investigates all reports of vulnerabilities that could potentially affect Moxa products. Moxa created a vulnerability management policy to provide guidance and information to our customers in the event of a reported vulnerability. The management policy ensures that Moxa’s customers have steady, unambiguous resources to help them understand how Moxa resolves or mitigates reported vulnerabilities. For any queries, please email [email protected].

In May 2017, researchers announced a vulnerability whereby an attacker who should not have access to a network could gain system privileges to provision Intel manageability SKUs and a local attacker could then provision manageability features to gain network or local system privileges on Intel manageability SKUs.

  • CVE-2017-5689

In the second half of 2017, researchers identified multiple vulnerabilities that are related to the Intel Management Engine.

  • CVE-2017-5705
  • CVE-2017-5708
  • CVE-2017-5711
  • CVE-2017-5712

In response to these vulnerabilities, Intel released a patch management engine firmware for all its platforms. Moxa has identified which of our products have been affected and issued a firmware upgrade. Any products that are not listed will not be affected by the aforementioned vulnerabilities. We recommend that people who have purchased the affected products get assistance through Moxa Global Customer Service and update to the latest BIOS.
