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
A vulnerability in the PROFINET stack implementation of the IndraDrive (all versions) of Bosch Rexroth allows an attacker to cause a denial of service, rendering the device unresponsive by sending arbitrary UDP messages.

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

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the PROFINET stack implementation of Bosch Rexroth IndraDrive drives across all versions. Attackers can render the device unresponsive by sending arbitrary UDP messages to the affected system, causing the PROFINET stack to fail or become unresponsive.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied firmware updates when available; until then, implement network segmentation and UDP traffic filtering to restrict unauthorized packets from reaching the IndusDrive device.

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 the device model
    Access the device management interface or check the physical device nameplate/label for the model number. Confirm it is a Bosch Rexroth IndraDrive drive.
    Affected if The device is a Bosch Rexroth IndraDrive drive of any firmware version.
  2. Verify PROFINET stack is enabled
    Access the device configuration settings (via the drive's web interface, parameter list, or engineering software). Check if PROFINET communication or the PROFINET stack is activated or configured.
    Affected if PROFINET stack is enabled or configured on the device.
  3. Confirm UDP network accessibility
    Check network configuration to determine if the device has an IP address on the operational network and if UDP port 34980 (PROFINET discovery) or port 34981 (PROFINET real-time) is accessible from untrusted network segments.
    Affected if The device is reachable via UDP on ports 34980/34981 from network segments where arbitrary packets could be sent.
  4. Check firmware version if accessible
    If the firmware version is readable via the device's web interface, engineering software, or parameter read-out, note the version for inventory purposes. Note that all versions are affected per the CVE.
    Affected if Any firmware version is installed on a Bosch Rexroth IndraDrive with PROFINET enabled.

You are affected if you have a Bosch Rexroth IndraDrive drive with PROFINET stack enabled and the device's UDP ports (34980/34981) are accessible on your network.
