Workarounds

The following mitigations and workarounds have been identified by ARC Informatique to help reduce risk:

Uninstall the web and mobile backend. Users not using the affected components should uninstall them. If the components are not required, do not install them. Change default configuration if using components prior to v12.0. If taking advantage of the web and mobile back features with a product version up to v11.2, change the following configuration item manually to prevent remote code execution In the file <PcVue installation directory>\Bin\PropertyServer.config>, change the following element and set it to “Low” (defaults to “Full”): <serverProviders> <formatter ref=”binary” typeFilterLevel=”Low” /> </serverProviders>

This workaround cannot be applied to PcVue v12.0 Harden firewall configuration by ensuring that incoming connections on the corresponding port are authorized only if initiated by the IIS Web Server process.
