Unauthenticated single crafted CIP packet (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); a length-controlled stack overflow can corrupt memory and disclose data, so I raise I to H alongside C:H/A:H versus NVD's I:N.

DescriptionCVE.org

In OpENer 2.3.0 (commit 76b95cf) when parsing incoming CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) network packets, the length parameter is inconsistently typed across the call stack. Specifically, an upstream length calculated as an int is passed to a downstream function that expects an EipInt16 (a 16-bit signed integer). If a maliciously crafted packet with specific length fields is processed, the length parameter can overflow or be truncated into a negative value. This negative length bypasses subsequent bounds checking (due to signed/unsigned comparison issues) and is ultimately used in memory operations, leading to a Stack Buffer Overflow when reading data in DecodePaddedEPath.

AnalysisAI

Stack buffer overflow in the OpENer EtherNet/IP stack (version 2.3.0, commit 76b95cf) lets remote attackers corrupt memory by sending a crafted CIP network packet whose length field is truncated into a negative value, bypassing bounds checks in DecodePaddedEPath. The CVSS vector (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates unauthenticated remote reachability with high confidentiality and availability impact; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis (not in CISA KEV), though a referenced gist and GitHub issue suggest researcher analysis and possible proof-of-concept material exist. As an OT/ICS protocol stack, exploitation would most plausibly cause denial of service or memory disclosure on embedded industrial devices.

Technical ContextAI

OpENer is an open-source implementation of the EtherNet/IP and CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) stack, typically embedded in industrial I/O adapter and controller firmware to expose devices on OT networks. The root cause is CWE-190 (Integer Overflow or Wraparound): a packet length computed upstream as a full-width int is passed into a function expecting an EipInt16, a 16-bit signed integer. Truncation to 16 bits can turn a large value into a negative number, and because subsequent bounds checks compare signed against unsigned quantities, the negative length passes validation and is then used in a stack-based memory copy inside DecodePaddedEPath, overflowing a fixed stack buffer. This is a classic signed/unsigned confusion feeding a length-controlled copy, aggravated by inconsistent integer typing across the CIP EPath decoding call stack.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version is identified at time of analysis; remediation is being tracked via upstream GitHub issue https://github.com/EIPStackGroup/OpENer/issues/563, so monitor that issue and the EIPStackGroup/OpENer repository for a fix commit or tagged release, then rebuild and reflash affected device firmware once available. Because the flaw is an integer-typing/bounds-check defect in CIP EPath parsing, the correct source-level fix is to use consistent wide integer types for the length across the call stack and to perform bounds checks before any narrowing cast. Until a patch exists, apply network-level compensating controls: restrict EtherNet/IP access (TCP/UDP 44818 and TCP 2222) to trusted engineering hosts via firewall or ACLs, place OpENer devices behind an OT DMZ or unidirectional gateway, and deploy deep-packet-inspection/IDS signatures for malformed CIP length fields - trade-off is that aggressive filtering of CIP traffic can disrupt legitimate PLC/scanner communication and must be validated in a maintenance window. Disabling or air-gapping affected adapters is the strongest mitigation where the device's function permits it.
