Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to the DVP80ES3's communication channel and the ability to send messages the device will process - the vulnerability lies in the absence of message-integrity enforcement on that channel, so no valid credentials or user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L). The primary limiting factor is network position: the attacker must be able to route traffic to the PLC's control/engineering protocol, which in correctly segmented ICS deployments is confined to the OT network and unreachable from IT or the internet. No non-default configuration or specific platform beyond the DVP80ES3 controller is indicated by the available data; confirmed impact is availability loss rather than code execution. |
| Impact | The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (High) driven entirely by availability (A:H) over an easily reachable network path (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) - a clean, low-barrier profile. Countervailing signals lower the urgency: there is no EPSS score provided, no proof-of-concept, and no CISA KEV listing, so there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation. A notable inconsistency exists between the intelligence tags, which label this 'Information Disclosure,' and the CVSS vector, which shows C:N (no confidentiality impact) and A:H - verify with the Delta advisory which is authoritative, as CWE-924 could plausibly enable tampering (integrity) or disclosure depending on channel specifics not captured in the vector. Because this is an ICS/OT device, real-world risk is governed less by internet-scale exploitation probability and more by network segmentation: if the PLC network is properly isolated the exposure is limited, but a flat network makes it a high-value disruption target. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who gains a foothold on the OT network - via a compromised HMI, engineering laptop, or an insufficiently segmented IT/OT boundary - sends crafted or tampered protocol messages to the DVP80ES3 that it fails to validate for integrity. Because no authentication or user interaction is required (PR:N/UI:N), the malformed traffic drives the controller into a fault or unresponsive state, halting the automated process it manages. No public proof-of-concept is currently available, but the low attack complexity means a knowledgeable attacker with network access could reliably reproduce the availability impact. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 01, 2026
Denial of service in Delta Electronics DVP80ES3 programmable logic controllers arises from a failure to enforce message integrity on a communication channel (CWE-924), allowing remote, unauthenticated attackers to inject or tamper with protocol messages and disrupt device availability. Per the vendor CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:N/I:N/A:H), the confirmed impact is loss of availability of this industrial controller with no privileges or user interaction required. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, though the network-reachable, no-auth profile of an ICS device makes it operationally significant.
RemediationAI
No specific fixed firmware version is provided in the available data, so consult Delta advisory Delta-PCSA-2026-00009 (https://filecenter.deltaww.com/news/download/doc/Delta-PCSA-2026-00009_DVP80ES3%20Multiple%20Vulnerabilities_v1%20(CVE-2026-12575,%2012576,%2012577).pdf) for the patched release and apply it; treat patch status as 'Patch available per vendor advisory' pending confirmation of an exact version. Because this is an OT device, compensating controls are essential: place the PLC behind an ICS-aware firewall and enforce strict network segmentation so only the engineering workstation and required HMIs can reach it (trade-off: requires accurate asset/flow mapping and may disrupt undocumented connections); restrict or filter the affected control/engineering protocol ports (e.g., Modbus/TCP 502 and Delta engineering ports) to an allowlist of trusted hosts (trade-off: can break legitimate polling if not scoped correctly); and deploy protocol-aware IDS monitoring for anomalous or malformed messages to that controller. Do not expose the PLC to the internet or to general corporate IT networks.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The DVP80ES3 is part of Delta Electronics' DVP-ES3 line of compact programmable logic controllers (PLCs) used to automate machinery and processes on plant floors, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:deltaww:dvp80es3. The root cause is CWE-924, Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel, meaning the device's network protocol does not adequately authenticate or integrity-check messages it receives (e.g., no cryptographic MAC or session validation). Industrial protocols spoken by such PLCs (Modbus/TCP and vendor-specific engineering protocols) historically lack built-in integrity protection, so a peer on the same network can forge, replay, or alter frames that the controller then acts on, here manifesting as an availability impact against the controller.

DescriptionCVE.org
DVP80ES3 with Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel vulnerability.
Executive ViewAI
Delta Electronics DVP80ES3 programmable logic controllers are vulnerable to unauthenticated, network-based denial of service attacks that can disrupt critical industrial operations. Attackers can remotely inject malicious protocol messages without authentication or user interaction, causing device unavailability. Organizations using these controllers in operational environments face risk of unplanned downtime affecting dependent manufacturing or process control systems.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to DVP80ES3 devices using firewalls or air-gapping to authorized engineering networks only; (2) Monitor device logs and network traffic for unauthorized protocol messages; (3) Deploy redundant controllers on critical production lines to enable failover; (4) Establish manual override procedures and operator training for graceful degradation if devices become unavailable; (5) Request expedited patch status from Delta Electronics and maintain contact with their security team.
