Severity
7.1
AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

An out‑of‑bounds write vulnerability in the CODESYS PROFINET Controller allows an unauthenticated attacker on the same network segment to send malformed PROFINET communication data that triggers an exception in the affected PLC application. The exception is handled by the CODESYS Control runtime system and results in a controlled stop of the PLC application.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

The affected products perform improper length checking when parsing incoming HTTP requests, resulting in a size-limited out-of-bounds write. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service via a system crash on the affected device.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H

The affected products insufficiently verify authorization when deleting user accounts. An authenticated, low-privileged remote user can exploit this vulnerability to delete other users, including those with higher privileges.

Severity
8.5
Race Condition
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The affected product extracts installation files to a temporary directory with incorrect default permissions during administrative installation. A low-privileged local attacker can exploit a TOCTOU race condition with a practical time window to replace verified files with malicious ones before installation, resulting in local privilege escalation.

Severity
8.5
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The affected product creates a directory with insecure default permissions during administrative installation. This allows a low-privileged local attacker to modify a temporary file defining the components to be installed, enabling local privilege escalation by forcing the deployment of arbitrary components.

Null Pointer Dereference
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L

A low-privileged attacker can remotely access the PKI folder of the CODESYS Control runtime system and thus read and write certificates and its keys. This allows sensitive data to be extracted or to accept certificates as trusted. Although all services remain available, only unencrypted communication is possible if the certificates are deleted.
