Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Multiple CODESYS Products are prone to a buffer over read. A low privileged remote attacker may craft a request with an invalid offset, which can cause an internal buffer over-read, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. User interaction is not required.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Multiple CODESYS products contain a buffer over-read vulnerability where a low-privileged remote attacker can craft a request with an invalid offset, causing an internal buffer over-read that results in denial-of-service conditions without requiring user interaction.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches for affected CODESYS products and implement proper input validation on offset values in the affected components to prevent buffer over-read conditions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed CODESYS product
    Locate the CODESYS installation directory or list installed software packages. Look for either 'Plcwinnt' or 'Runtime Toolkit' components.
    Affected if Either Plcwinnt or Runtime Toolkit is installed
  2. Check installed version number
    Open the product's version information dialog, check the About section in the CODESYS development environment, or examine the version metadata in the installation directory. Compare against the affected range.
    Affected if Installed version is 2.0 or higher but lower than 2.4.7.57
  3. Verify network accessibility of the service
    Determine if the CODESYS runtime service is listening on network ports. Check network configuration and firewall rules for the service.
    Affected if The CODESYS service is exposed to network access from untrusted sources

User is affected if Plcwinnt or Runtime Toolkit version is between 2.0 and 2.4.7.56 inclusive, and the service is network-accessible to remote attackers.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.4.7.57 or later
Fixed in 2.4.7.57
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-provided patches for affected CODESYS products and implement proper input validation on offset values in the affected components to prevent buffer over-read conditions.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to version 2.4.7.57 or later for both Plcwinnt and Runtime Toolkit

  1. 1. Identify which CODESYS product is affected: Plcwinnt or Runtime Toolkit
  2. 2. Check the current installed version of the affected product
  3. 3. Obtain the updated version 2.4.7.57 or later from CODESYS (e.g., from customers.codesys.com or official distribution channels)
  4. 4. Apply the update following standard CODESYS upgrade procedures
  5. 5. Verify the version has been successfully updated to 2.4.7.57 or higher
