CRITICAL 9.8

DescriptionNVD

An unauthenticated remote attacker can upload a malicious IODD file that places and executes a shell script with root privileges. The shell script remains active even after a reboot.

AnalysisAI

Root-level remote code execution affects Pepperl+Fuchs ICE2/ICE3-series and Phoenix Contact IOL-MA8 IO-Link master gateways, where an unauthenticated attacker uploads a crafted IODD (IO Device Description) file that drops and executes an arbitrary shell script as root. The injected script survives reboot, granting persistent full control of the industrial device. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reach to the affected IO-Link master's IODD upload/import interface and the ability to submit a crafted IODD file - no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are needed against a default configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8) indicates trivial, unauthenticated, network-reachable exploitation with total impact - a genuine priority for any environment where these gateways are network-exposed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the firmware updates referenced in the CERT@VDE advisories (VDE-2026-014, VDE-2026-027, VDE-2026-028 at https://www.certvde.com/en/advisories/); the supplied data does not include an exact fixed firmware version, so treat this as 'patch available per vendor advisory' and confirm the specific target build with Pepperl+Fuchs and Phoenix Contact before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Complete an inventory of all Pepperl+Fuchs ICE2/ICE3 and Phoenix Contact IOL-MA8 devices; prioritize network isolation or restrict access via firewall rules blocking IODD upload mechanisms on internet-facing or untrusted network segments. …
