Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A denial-of-service security issue exists within RSLinx® Classic. The security issue stems from improper handling of a malformed packet. A crafted CIP packet can cause the RSLinx® Classic service to crash, requiring a restart of the service to recover
AnalysisAI
Remote denial-of-service in Rockwell Automation RSLinx Classic allows an unauthenticated network attacker to crash the RSLinx Classic service by sending a single crafted CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) packet, after which the service must be manually restarted to restore communications. The flaw is rooted in an integer-overflow (CWE-190) style mishandling of a malformed packet and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.2 driven by high availability impact on both the service and dependent systems. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the RSLinx Classic service's CIP/EtherNet/IP listener and the ability to send a crafted (malformed) CIP packet - no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and no special attack requirements (AT:N) per the CVSS 4.0 vector, so it works against default configurations. … 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/SA:H) describes an easy, unauthenticated, network-reachable attack with high availability impact on the vulnerable system and on subsequent systems that depend on it - a realistic and serious profile for an OT communications broker whose outage can halt HMI/SCADA visibility and control. … 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 | Patch available per vendor advisory - apply the RSLinx Classic update described in Rockwell Automation advisory SD1794 (https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/trust-center/security-advisories/advisory.SD1794.html); an exact patched version number was not included in the provided data, so confirm the target build directly from that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all RSLinx Classic deployments in production and non-production environments; implement firewall rules restricting CIP protocol access to only trusted, documented sources and segment OT networks from general corporate network access. …
