Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Power Monitor 1000 deviceLocate Rockwell Automation Power Monitor 1000 hardware on the network by checking device hostname, MAC OUI (Rockwell Automation), or consulting asset inventory recordsAffected if The device is a Rockwell Automation Power Monitor 1000 model
-
Check firmware versionAccess the device web interface or use SNMP to query the firmware version. Typically found under System > About or via SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.3097.1Affected if Firmware version cannot be determined or is older than the version listed in Rockwell Security Advisory (consult vendor for specific version numbers)
-
Verify network exposureScan the network for the device IP address and check if ports associated with the Power Monitor 1000 web interface (typically HTTP/HTTPS) are accessible from untrusted network segmentsAffected if The device management interface is exposed to the internet or to untrusted internal networks without network segmentation
-
Confirm remote service is enabledCheck if the device web server or management service is running by attempting to access the HTTP/HTTPS ports or using nmap to probe the deviceAffected if The web management interface is running and responds to network requests
-
Review access controlsExamine firewall rules, VLAN configuration, or access control lists to determine if the device has unrestricted network accessAffected if No firewall rules or ACLs restrict access to the Power Monitor 1000 management interface
The environment is affected if a Rockwell Automation Power Monitor 1000 device is present and its management interface is network-accessible without proper segmentation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataIsolate the Power Monitor 1000 on a dedicated network segment with strict access controls; contact Rockwell Automation for firmware updates and follow ICS security best practices until a patch is available.
