CVE-2025-26858
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 · uneditedA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Modbus TCP functionality of Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 1.6.9. A specially crafted set of network packets can lead to denial of service. An attacker can send a sequence of unauthenticated packets to trigger this vulnerability.
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 confidenceA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Modbus TCP implementation of the Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 power monitoring device version 1.6.9. An unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted Modbus TCP packets that overflow a memory buffer, causing denial of service.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm device modelAccess the device management interface (web UI or console) and identify the exact device model. Verify it is a Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70.Affected if The device is NOT a Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 (different models are not affected by this specific CVE).
-
Check firmware versionIn the device web interface or management console, locate the firmware version information. This is typically found under System Info, Device Status, or About sections.Affected if The firmware version is exactly 1.6.9 (this is the only version listed as affected).
-
Verify Modbus TCP is enabledAccess the device configuration settings and check whether the Modbus TCP protocol is enabled. Look for settings related to Modbus communication, serial/TCP configuration, or communication protocols.Affected if Modbus TCP is disabled - the vulnerability cannot be exploited if the protocol is not enabled.
-
Check network exposure of Modbus TCP portScan the network or review firewall rules to determine if the device Modbus TCP port (default 502) is accessible from untrusted networks. Determine if the device is directly exposed to the internet or accessible from the corporate network.Affected if The device Modbus TCP port is accessible from untrusted networks (internet or guest VLANs), increasing exploit likelihood.
-
Monitor for device crashes or unusual behaviorReview device logs, network monitoring tools, or syslog entries for the device. Look for unexpected reboots, Modbus service failures, or abnormal error messages.Affected if The device exhibits frequent crashes, unexpected reboots, or Modbus service errors that coincide with external Modbus TCP traffic.
You are affected if you have a Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 running firmware version 1.6.9 with Modbus TCP enabled and accessible from a network where an unauthenticated attacker could send packets to the device.

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.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware patch when available; meanwhile, isolate the device behind a firewall or VPN, disable unused Modbus TCP access, and monitor for anomalous network traffic to the device.
