EUVD-2026-14385 has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 (Critical). CVSS vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H. EPSS exploitation probability: 0.1%.

Which versions of Lean Managed Switch 852 1812 are affected by EUVD-2026-14385?

Critical vulnerability in WAGO industrial switches enables unauthenticated remote attackers to gain root-level access and completely compromise affected devices.

How to fix or mitigate EUVD-2026-14385?

Within 24 hours: Inventory all WAGO switch models in use and identify affected devices; isolate critical switches from external network access if possible. Within 7 days: Implement network segmentation to restrict CLI access to authorized management networks only; enable authentication logging and monitor for suspicious access attempts. Within 30 days: Contact WAGO for patch availability timeline; evaluate replacement or upgrade options for affected models; implement compensating controls such as air-gapping critical switches or deploying intrusion detection systems.

CRITICAL 10.0

DescriptionCVE.org

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a hidden function in the CLI prompt to escape the restricted interface and gain root access to the underlying Linux based OS, leading to full compromise of the device.

AnalysisAI

A hidden function in the CLI prompt of multiple WAGO industrial and lean managed switches allows unauthenticated remote attackers to escape the restricted interface and gain root access to the underlying Linux operating system. This results in complete device compromise with a maximum CVSS score of 10.0. The vulnerability affects over a dozen WAGO switch models used in industrial automation environments, and was disclosed by CERT@VDE.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability affects WAGO industrial and lean managed switch products running Linux-based firmware with a restricted CLI interface. The root cause is CWE-912 (Hidden Functionality), indicating the presence of undocumented or improperly restricted commands accessible through the command-line interface. Affected products include the Lean Managed Switch series (852-1812, 852-1813, 852-1816 and their variants) and Industrial Managed Switch series (852-303, 852-602, 852-603, 852-1305, 852-1505, 852-1605 and their variants). The CLI should enforce a restricted shell environment to prevent access to the underlying operating system, but a hidden function bypasses these restrictions entirely, allowing shell escape to gain root privileges on the Linux OS without any authentication requirement.

RemediationAI

Consult the CERT@VDE advisory at https://certvde.com/de/advisories/VDE-2026-020 for vendor-provided firmware updates that remove or properly restrict the hidden CLI function. Until firmware updates can be applied, implement network-level compensating controls including restricting management interface access to dedicated management VLANs accessible only from trusted administrator workstations, deploying firewall rules to block CLI/SSH access from untrusted networks, and implementing network segmentation to isolate affected switches from public networks. Disable remote management interfaces entirely if local console access is feasible for your operational requirements. Monitor network traffic for unexpected CLI access attempts and unauthorized connection patterns to these devices.
