Expected Behavior Violation vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-F Series FX5-ENET/IP Ethernet Module FX5-ENET/IP all versions allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition in the affected product by continuously sending a large number of communication packets to the Ethernet port of the product in a short period of time, increasing the processing load of the product, preventing the internal anomaly-detection processing from being performed, and causing the communication function to stop.
AnalysisAI
Denial-of-service in Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-F Series FX5-ENET/IP Ethernet Modules (all versions) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to halt the module's communication function by flooding its Ethernet port with packets. The high packet rate overwhelms internal anomaly-detection processing and stops communications - a critical impact for the industrial control environments these PLCs operate in. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Attacker must have network-layer reachability to the Ethernet port of the FX5-ENET/IP module and the ability to sustain a high-rate packet flood toward it; no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is required, and the flaw is present in all firmware versions of the module. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H scores 8.7 because exploitation is trivial (unauthenticated network flood) and availability impact on the vulnerable PLC module is high. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with network reachability to the FX5-ENET/IP module's Ethernet port - for example, a compromised engineering workstation or an exposed jump host on a poorly segmented OT network - runs a packet-generation tool (hping3, custom EtherNet/IP traffic, or a generic SYN/UDP flood) against the module. Sustained traffic at a high rate exhausts the module's packet-processing budget, the anomaly-detection routine never runs, and the communication function stops, breaking PLC connectivity to SCADA, HMIs, and peer devices. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is cited in the available data; consult the Mitsubishi PSIRT advisory at https://www.mitsubishielectric.com/psirt/vulnerability/pdf/2026-003_en.pdf and the CISA ICS advisory https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-169-06 for the current firmware fix and recovery procedure (the module typically requires a power cycle to restore communications after the DoS condition). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running MELSEC iQ-F Series FX5-ENET/IP Ethernet Modules; implement network segmentation to isolate affected devices from untrusted network access. …
