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
An authenticated, remote attacker may use a out-of-bounds write vulnerability in multiple CODESYS products in multiple versions to write data into memory which can lead to a denial-of-service condition, memory overwriting, or remote code execution.

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 · high confidence

This is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in multiple CODESYS products. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit improper memory boundary checks to write data beyond allocated buffers, leading to memory corruption that can cause denial of service, memory overwriting, or potentially remote code execution.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied security patches for all affected CODESYS products, enforce network segmentation to limit exposure, and ensure strong authentication controls are in place for affected systems.

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 Control product
    Check the system for installed CODESYS Control software packages. Common locations: /etc/codesys, /opt/codesys, or check installed packages via package manager (dpkg -l, rpm -qa). Look for product names matching 'CODESYS Control' for Beaglebone, Empc, IoT2000, Linux, PFC100, PFC200, PLCnext, or Raspberry Pi.
    Affected if Any CODESYS Control product from the affected list is installed on the system
  2. Determine the specific product variant
    Inspect the product name or package identifier. The affected products are: Codesys Control For Beaglebone Sl, Codesys Control For Empc A/imx6 Sl, Codesys Control For IoT2000 Sl, Codesys Control For Linux Sl, Codesys Control For Pfc100 Sl, Codesys Control For Pfc200 Sl, Codesys Control For Plcnext Sl, Codesys Control For Raspberry Pi Sl.
    Affected if The installed product matches any of these eight product names
  3. Check installed version number
    Query the installed CODESYS Control version. Common methods: check the product's about dialog, run 'codesysinfo' or similar utility, read version from installation metadata files (package.json, MANIFEST.MF, or version.info in the installation directory), or check the Windows registry on Windows-based installations.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 4.8.0.0 (for example: 4.7.x, 4.6.x, 3.x series)
  4. Verify remote access is enabled
    Check if the CODESYS Control runtime is configured to accept remote connections. Inspect network configuration files (CODESYSControl.cfg, gateway settings), check if the runtime service is listening on network interfaces (netstat -anp | grep codesys), and verify the SP 'Communication Settings' in the development environment.
    Affected if Remote/network communication is enabled and the service is accessible over the network

The environment is affected if a CODESYS Control product from the list is installed with a version below 4.8.0.0 and has network communication enabled.

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 4.8.0.0 or later
Fixed in 4.8.0.0
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-supplied security patches for all affected CODESYS products, enforce network segmentation to limit exposure, and ensure strong authentication controls are in place for affected systems.

Recommended fix High confidence

CODESYS Control products version 4.8.0.0 or later

  1. Identify the specific CODESYS Control product in use from the affected list (Beaglebone, Empc A/imx6, Iot2000, Linux, Pfc100, Pfc200, Plcnext, or Raspberry Pi)
  2. Locate the current installed version of the CODESYS Control product
  3. Verify the current version is below 4.8.0.0
  4. Obtain the fixed version 4.8.0.0 or later from the official CODESYS download repository at customers.codesys.com
  5. Create a complete backup of the current project and configuration
  6. Test the upgrade in a non-production/staging environment first
  7. Apply the upgrade following standard CODESYS software update procedures
  8. Verify the new version is 4.8.0.0 or higher after installation
Caveat Review CODESYS release notes for 4.8.0.0 for any configuration or compatibility changes that may affect existing projects
