CVE-2025-54850
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 denial of service vulnerability exists in the Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU over TCP functionality of Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 1.6.9. A specially crafted series of network requests can lead to a denial of service. An attacker can send a sequence of unauthenticated packets to trigger this vulnerability.An attacker can trigger this denial-of-service condition by sending a sequence of Modbus RTU over TCP messages to port 503 using the Write Single Register function code (6). The attack sequence begins with a message to register 58112 with a value of 1000, indicating that a configuration change will follow. Next, a message is sent to register 29440 with a value corresponding to the new Modbus address to be configured. Finally, a message to register 57856 with a value of 161 commits the configuration change. After this configuration change, the device will be in a denial-of-service state.
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 confidenceA denial of service vulnerability exists in the Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU over TCP functionality of Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 v1.6.9. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger the DoS condition by sending a specific three-message sequence to port 503 using Write Single Register (function code 6): writing 1000 to register 58112, then a new Modbus address to register 29440, then 161 to register 57856 to commit the configuration change. This configuration change leaves the device in a non-functional state.

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.
-
Identify device model and firmware versionQuery the Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 device for its firmware version through its web interface, SNMP, or Modbus registers to confirm it is version 1.6.9Affected if The device is a Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 running firmware version 1.6.9 exactly
-
Verify Modbus TCP service is enabledCheck if the Modbus TCP service is enabled on the device. This is typically configured in the device network settings or web interface under Modbus communication parametersAffected if Modbus TCP functionality is enabled on the device
-
Confirm port 503 is accessibleScan the device network port 503 (TCP) to determine if the Modbus TCP service is exposed and reachable. Use a command like 'nmap -p 503 <device_ip>' or 'telnet <device_ip> 503'Affected if Port 503 is open and accessible from the network where an attacker could send the malicious packet sequence
-
Check network exposure of Modbus serviceEvaluate whether the device with port 503 open is accessible from untrusted networks or if proper network segmentation is in place to restrict access to authorized systems onlyAffected if The Modbus TCP service on port 503 is accessible from untrusted or unauthenticated network segments
A user is affected if they have a Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 device running firmware version 1.6.9 with Modbus TCP enabled and port 503 accessible from a network where unauthenticated attackers can reach it.

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 dataNetwork segmentation and access controls should be implemented to restrict unauthorized access to port 503. If available, apply vendor-supplied firmware updates. Consider implementing Modbus authentication or deploying a firewall/IDS to detect and block the anomalous register write sequence.
