Siemens recommends the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce the risk:

- Desigo products: update to v6.30.016 or later
- APOGEE PXC Compact (P2 Ethernet) and APOGEE PXC Modular (P2 Ethernet): update to v2.8.19 or later. Contact a Siemens
office for support.
- TALON TC Compact (BACnet), TALON TC Modular (BACnet), APOGEE PXC Compact (BACnet), and APOGEE PXC Modular (BACnet):
update to v3.5.4 or later. Contact a Siemens office for support.

- CVE-2021-31881, CVE-2021-31882, CVE-2021-31883, CVE-2021-31884: Disable the DHCP client and use static IP address
configuration instead (Note the DHCP client is disabled by default on APOGEE/TALON and Desigo products).
- CVE-2021-31885, CVE-2021-31886, CVE-2021-31887, CVE-2021-31888: Disable the FTP service (Note the FTP service is
disabled by default on Desigo products).

As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends protecting network access to affected products with
appropriate mechanisms. It is advised to follow recommended security practices to run the devices in a protected IT
environment.
