Vulnerability from csaf_lenzese - Published: 2026-07-27 10:00 - Updated: 2026-07-27 10:00
Summary
Lenze: Incorrect signature validation in the enable SSH routine
Severity
High
Notes
Summary: The affected products belong to the Controller or Servo Drive product family and contain a vulnerability in a security-critical activation mechanism for service access. The signature verification of a file used for SSH activation can be compromised, which could allow unauthorized access to the device.
General Recommendations: The cyber security documentation currently describes some of the implemented functions and is thus intended to provide clarity in the functions described here.
Disclamer: Lenze SE assumes no liability whatsoever for any kind of losses or consequential losses that occur by the distribution and/or use of this document . All information published in this document is provided on good faith by Lenze SE. Insofar as permissible by law, however, none of this information shall establish any guarantee, commitment or liability on the part of Lenze SE. Lenze SE reserves the right to change or update this document at any time.
Impact: This vulnerability could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the product.
Remediation: To resolve this security vulnerability, we recommend installing a firmware update. | Product | Firmware | Fixed Version | | --------------- | -------- | ------------- | | Controller c430 | c4xx | 1.15.2 | | c520 | c5xx | 1.15.2 | | c550 | c5xx | 1.15.2 | | i950 GenA | i950 | 1.15.0 | | i950 GenB | i950 | 2.0.3 |
Mitigation: Check to see if there is an activation file on the SD Card, and delete it. In addition, it is recommended that you protect each access path with appropriate measures, such as physically securing access to the SD Card, authorizing file transfers via PLC Designer (if supported by the respective product), authorizing file transfers via OPC UA (if supported by the respective product), and customizing the key for SFTP access.

Multiple Lenze products are affected by an improper signature verification vulnerability in the SSH enablement mechanism. A low-privileged local attacker can bypass verification of the SSH enable file signature and enable SSH access on the device. Successful exploitation may result in unauthorized administrative access and complete system compromise.

CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
Vendor Fix To resolve this security vulnerability, we recommend installing a firmware update. | Product | Firmware | Fixed Version | | --------------- | -------- | ------------- | | Controller c430 | c4xx | 1.15.2 | | c520 | c5xx | 1.15.2 | | c550 | c5xx | 1.15.2 | | i950 GenA | i950 | 1.15.0 | | i950 GenB | i950 | 2.0.3 |
