2DescriptionCVE.org
A denial-of-service security issue exists within RSLinx® Classic. A crafted CIP packet with an oversized embedded message request can cause the RSLinx® Classic service to crash, requiring a restart of the service to recover.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated denial-of-service in Rockwell Automation RSLinx Classic allows a remote attacker to crash the communications service by sending a crafted CIP packet containing an oversized embedded message request. The buffer overflow (CWE-120) causes the RSLinx Classic service to terminate, requiring manual restart to restore industrial device connectivity. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | RSLinx Classic CIP listener (typically TCP/UDP port 44818) must be reachable from the attacker's network position. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) accurately reflects the threat: low complexity, no authentication, network-exploitable. … 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 (https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/trust-center/security-advisories/advisory.SD1794.html) for the vendor-released patch and exact fixed version - no specific fix version was independently confirmed from the available input data, so applying the vendor-recommended update is the primary action. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all RSLinx Classic deployments and assess criticality to production, then implement network access controls restricting CIP packet traffic to trusted engineering workstations and PLCs only. …
