Risk evaluation
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may cause a heap-based buffer overflow, a stack-based buffer overflow, or a buffer over-read in the affected CODESYS products. This could result in a denial-of-service condition or allow remote code execution.
Critical infrastructure sectors
Critical Manufacturing
Countries/areas deployed
Worldwide
Company headquarters location
Germany
Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage onus-cert.cisa.gov. Several recommended practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Recommended Practices
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage on us-cert.cisa.gov in the Technical Information Paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
Exploitability
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
