Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.91% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs CODESYS CODESYS Control RTE (SL) and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Summary
After successful authentication, specific crafted communication requests with inconsistent content can cause the CmpFiletransfer component to read internally from an invalid address, potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition.
Remediation
Version 6.3.1 of Vijeo Designer includes a fix for this vulnerability and can be updated through the Schneider Electric Software Update (SESU) application. https://www.se.com/ww/en/product-range/1054-vijeodesigner-hmi-software/#software-and-firmware On the engineering workstation, update to v6.3.1 of Vijeo Designer. In order to complete the update, connect to Harmony HMI and download the project file using Vijeo Designer v6.3.1.

01

What, why and how

Multiple CODESYS products in multiple versions are prone to a improper input validation vulnerability. An authenticated remote attacker may craft specific requests that use the vulnerability leading to a denial-of-service condition.

What

Multiple CODESYS products in multiple versions are prone to a improper input validation vulnerability. An authenticated remote attacker may craft specific requests that use the vulnerability leading to a denial-of-service condition.

Why

The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Input Validation → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-20 ↗

CWE-20: Improper Input Validation. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.

?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
