8DescriptionGitHub Advisory
BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. Prior to 1.4.3, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in bacnet-stack's ReadPropertyMultiple service property decoder allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read past allocated buffer boundaries by sending an RPM request with a truncated property list. The vulnerability stems from rpm_decode_object_property() calling the deprecated decode_tag_number_and_value() function at src/bacnet/rpm.c:344, which accepts no buffer length parameter and reads blindly from whatever pointer it receives. A crafted BACnet/IP packet with a 1-byte property payload containing an extended tag marker (0xF9) causes the decoder to read 1 byte past the end of the buffer, leading to crashes on embedded BACnet devices. The vulnerability exists in src/bacnet/rpm.c and affects any deployment that enables the ReadPropertyMultiple confirmed service handler (enabled by default in the reference server). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.3.
AnalysisAI
Remote attackers can crash BACnet Stack-powered embedded devices (versions prior to 1.4.3) by sending malformed ReadPropertyMultiple (RPM) requests containing a 1-byte property payload with an extended tag marker (0xF9). The vulnerability triggers an out-of-bounds read in the RPM service decoder, causing denial-of-service on industrial building automation systems that use this open-source C library. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | ReadPropertyMultiple (RPM) confirmed service handler must be enabled in the BACnet Stack application configuration, which is the default setting in the reference server implementation provided by the bacnet-stack project. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is MODERATE-HIGH despite the 8.7 CVSS score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker on the building automation network sends a crafted BACnet/IP packet to UDP port 47808 of a vulnerable HVAC controller running BACnet Stack <1.4.3. The packet contains a ReadPropertyMultiple request with a truncated property list: a single 0xF9 byte (extended tag marker) in the property payload. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade BACnet Stack library to version 1.4.3 or later, which replaces the deprecated decode_tag_number_and_value() function with bounds-checked alternatives in the RPM property decoder. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all BACnet Stack deployments and confirm library versions in use via vendor documentation or firmware analysis; disable ReadPropertyMultiple service if operationally feasible as interim protection. …
