CVE-2025-8007
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 security issue exists in the protected mode of 1756-EN4TR and 1756-EN2TR communication modules, where a Concurrent Forward Close operation can trigger a Major Non-Recoverable (MNFR) fault. This condition may lead to unexpected system crashes and loss of device availability.
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 security vulnerability exists in the protected mode of Rockwell Automation 1756-EN4TR and 1756-EN2TR EtherNet/IP communication modules where a Concurrent Forward Close operation can trigger a Major Non-Recoverable (MNFR) fault, causing unexpected system crashes and loss of device availability.

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 the installed EtherNet/IP module modelAccess the controller's hardware inventory through Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000 Logix Designer or RSLinx Classic. Locate the communication module in the I/O configuration tree and note the exact model number (1756-EN2TR, 1756-EN4TR, or 1756-EN4TRXT).Affected if The model is 1756-EN2TR (any series) or 1756-EN4TR/1756-EN4TRXT.
-
Determine the installed firmware versionIn RSLinx Classic, right-click the module and select 'Device Properties' to view the firmware revision. Alternatively, use the 'Firmware Revision' field in the module's properties within Studio 5000 Logix Designer. Record the firmware version number.Affected if Firmware version is lower than 7.001.
-
Check if protected mode is enabledIn Studio 5000 Logix Designer, open the module's properties for the EtherNet/IP communication module. Look for the 'Protected Mode' or 'Security' settings configuration. Verify whether protected mode is currently enabled or disabled.Affected if Protected mode is enabled on the module.
-
Review for existing MNFR fault conditionsIn Studio 5000 Logix Designer, access the controller's 'Controller Properties' and view the 'Major Faults' tab or check the module's fault information in RSLinx Classic. Look for Major Non-Recoverable (MNFR) faults related to the EtherNet/IP module.Affected if An MNFR fault is present and tied to the communication module.
You are affected if your installed module is a 1756-EN2TR or 1756-EN4TR/1756-EN4TRXT with firmware version below 7.001 and protected mode is enabled, or if you observe MNFR faults on the module.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped7.001
Apply firmware updates from Rockwell Automation when available; implement network segmentation to reduce attack surface and monitor for MNFR fault conditions; coordinate firmware updates during planned maintenance windows given the critical nature of these communication modules.
Firmware version 7.001 for 1756-EN2TR (Series A/B/C) and 1756-EN4TR/EN4TRXT
- Identify the specific module series (EN2TR Series A/B/C, EN4TR, or EN4TRXT) in your system
- Check the current firmware version of the affected module via the control system programming software or web interface
- Navigate to the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC) to obtain firmware version 7.001 or later for your specific module
- Review all prerequisites and firmware update procedures in the official Rockwell Automation firmware release notes
- Connect to the module and upload the new firmware using the appropriate Rockwell update tool (such as FactoryTalk AssetCentre or RSLinx Classic)
- After firmware update completes, verify the new version is 7.001 or later
- Confirm the module returns to operational state and test normal communication functions
