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.
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.
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.
The affected product may expose credentials remotely between low privileged visualization users during concurrent login operations due to insufficient isolation of authentication data. The vulnerability affects only login operations within an active visualization session.
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.
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.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can use a malicious OPC UA client to send a crafted request to affected CODESYS products which can cause a DoS due to incorrect calculation of buffer size.
CODESYS Control V3, Gateway V3, and HMI V3 before 3.5.15.30 allow uncontrolled memory allocation which can result in a remote denial of service condition.
CODESYS Control Runtime system before 3.5.17.10 has a Heap-based Buffer Overflow.
CODESYS Gateway 3 before 3.5.16.70 has a NULL pointer dereference that may result in a denial of service (DoS).
In multiple products of CODESYS v3 in multiple versions a remote low privileged user could utilize this vulnerability to read and modify system files and OS resources or DoS the device.
In CODESYS Control in multiple versions a improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer allow an remote attacker with user privileges to gain full access of the device.
An unauthenticated remote attacker may exhaust all available TCP connections in the CODESYS Modbus TCP Server stack if a race condition in connection handling is successfully exploited, preventing legitimate clients from establishing new connections.
An unauthenticated remote attacker is able to exhaust all available TCP connections in the CODESYS EtherNet/IP adapter stack, preventing legitimate clients from establishing new connections.
An unauthenticated local attacker may trick a user to open corrupted project files to execute arbitrary code or crash the system due to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability.
An unauthenticated local attacker may trick a user to open corrupted project files to crash the system due to use after free vulnerability.
A local attacker with low privileges can read and modify any users files and cause a DoS in the working directory of the affected products due to exposure of resource to wrong sphere.
An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to control the format string of messages processed by the Audit Log of the CODESYS Control runtime system, potentially resulting in a denial‑of‑service (DoS) condition.
A low-privileged remote attacker may be able to replace the boot application of the CODESYS Control runtime system, enabling unauthorized code execution.
If a legitimate user confirms a self-update prompt or initiate an installation of a CODESYS Development System, a low privileged local attacker can gain elevated rights due to a TOCTOU vulnerability in the CODESYS installer.
An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause the visualisation server of the CODESYS Control runtime system to access a resource with a pointer of wrong type, potentially leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
An unauthenticated attacker can trick a local user into executing arbitrary code by opening a deliberately manipulated CODESYS project file with a CODESYS development system. This arbitrary code is executed in the user context.
An unauthenticated remote attacker, who beats a race condition, can exploit a flaw in the communication servers of the CODESYS Control runtime system on Linux and QNX to trigger an out-of-bounds read via crafted socket communication, potentially causing a denial of service.
