OpenPLC v3 contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability that allows attackers with valid credentials to inject malicious code through the hardware configuration interface. Attackers can upload a custom hardware layer with embedded reverse shell code that establishes a network connection to a specified IP and port, enabling remote command execution.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the ModbusTCP server functionality of OpenPLC v3 a931181e8b81e36fadf7b74d5cba99b73c3f6d58. A specially crafted series of network connections can lead to the server not processing subsequent Modbus requests. An attacker can open a series of TCP connections to trigger this vulnerability.
