Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to the DVP80ES3's exposed service; per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication and no user interaction are needed against the affected firmware, so any host that can reach the PLC's control/engineering port can attempt it. The truncated description ('DVP80ES3 with Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability') does not name a specific feature, protocol, or non-default setting as a precondition, so the concrete triggering interface is not fully specified in available data and should be confirmed via Delta-PCSA-2026-00009. The primary limiting factor is deployment context: PLCs are normally on isolated OT networks, so real-world reach depends on network segmentation rather than product-side authentication; impact is confined to availability (device crash/DoS), with no confidentiality or integrity effect per the vector.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, indicating a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack whose sole impact is availability - a classic denial-of-service profile, not code execution or data theft. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation; risk is driven by ease of triggering (no auth, low complexity) rather than observed attacker interest. A notable conflict exists in the data: the feed tag reads 'Information Disclosure,' yet the CVSS vector explicitly sets C:N (no confidentiality impact) and only A:H - the tag appears to be a generic or mislabeled classification and should not be treated as confirmed disclosure risk; verify against the Delta advisory. Real-world priority is context-dependent: for plant-network- or internet-exposed PLCs this is a meaningful operational-availability risk given the low bar to exploit, but for properly segmented OT networks the network vector is substantially mitigated.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network access to the plant OT segment repeatedly opens connections to the DVP80ES3's exposed control service and sends requests that cause the firmware to leak or fail to release resources. After enough iterations the PLC exhausts available handles or memory and crashes or hangs, halting the industrial process it controls. No authentication or user interaction is required, and no public exploit code was identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 01, 2026

Denial of service in Delta Electronics DVP80ES3 programmable logic controllers arises from an improper resource shutdown or release flaw (CWE-404) that lets remote unauthenticated attackers exhaust or corrupt device resources. Per the CVSS vector the impact is limited to availability (A:H) with no confidentiality or integrity loss, meaning a successful attacker can crash or hang the PLC and disrupt the controlled industrial process. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the issue is documented in Delta advisory Delta-PCSA-2026-00009, which bundles it with CVE-2026-12576 and CVE-2026-12577.

RemediationAI

Consult Delta advisory Delta-PCSA-2026-00009 (https://filecenter.deltaww.com/news/download/doc/Delta-PCSA-2026-00009_DVP80ES3%20Multiple%20Vulnerabilities_v1%20(CVE-2026-12575,%2012576,%2012577).pdf) for the vendor's recommended firmware update; the provided data does not include an exact fixed version, so no vendor-released patch version can be independently confirmed at time of analysis - verify the target firmware level directly against that advisory. Because the attack vector is network-based (AV:N) and unauthenticated (PR:N), the most effective compensating control is network isolation: place the DVP80ES3 behind an OT firewall and restrict access to its control/engineering protocol ports to a whitelist of trusted engineering workstations, which blocks remote reachability at the cost of requiring VPN/jump-host access for legitimate remote maintenance. Additionally, disable or block exposure of any unused network services on the PLC and monitor for abnormal connection churn or repeated malformed requests indicative of a resource-exhaustion attempt; the trade-off of aggressive connection filtering is potential disruption to legitimate SCADA/HMI polling if not scoped carefully.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is the Delta DVP80ES3, part of Delta's DVP-ES3 series compact programmable logic controllers used in factory automation and machine control. The root cause is CWE-404 (Improper Resource Shutdown or Release): the firmware fails to properly free, close, or reclaim a resource - such as a network socket, memory buffer, or connection handle - after it is finished with it. Over repeated network interactions this can lead to resource exhaustion (leaked handles/memory) or an inconsistent internal state that terminates a service. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:deltaww:dvp80es3:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the DVP80ES3 across all versions, consistent with a firmware-level defect in the PLC's networking or protocol-handling stack.

DescriptionCVE.org

DVP80ES3 with Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Delta Electronics DVP80ES3 programmable logic controllers are vulnerable to a remote denial-of-service attack that can crash devices and disrupt controlled industrial processes. Organizations running these controllers face immediate risk to operational continuity, with no vendor patch currently available. Rapid network isolation and compensating controls are essential to prevent production outages.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Isolate DVP80ES3 devices to trusted industrial control networks with firewall segmentation; restrict inbound connectivity to authorized engineering workstations and control systems only; deploy network intrusion detection to alert on remote exploitation attempts; implement continuous monitoring for unexpected device behavior (crashes, restarts, unresponsiveness); consider redundant controller deployment in critical process paths to enable failover during incidents; disable unnecessary network services and remote access protocols on affected devices.
