A denial-of-service security issue exists within RSLinx® Classic. A crafted CIP packet targeting the Forward Close service can cause the RSLinx® Classic service to crash, requiring a restart of the service to recover.
AnalysisAI
Denial-of-service in Rockwell Automation RSLinx Classic allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the RSLinx Classic communication service by sending a single crafted CIP packet targeting the Forward Close service. Because RSLinx Classic acts as the primary communication bridge between engineering workstations and Allen-Bradley PLCs, a crash forces a manual service restart and can halt production operations in industrial environments. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required; the CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:N and UI:N, confirming unauthenticated network exploitation against any reachable RSLinx Classic instance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 reflects a network-exploitable, unauthenticated, low-complexity DoS with high availability impact, and these metrics are consistent with the description - no inflation is apparent. … 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 | Consult Rockwell Automation security advisory SD1794 at https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/trust-center/security-advisories/advisory.SD1794.html for the vendor-confirmed patch or upgrade path; no specific fixed version number was available in the intelligence provided, so citing one would be fabrication. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
