AV:A reflects MMS service adjacency requirement; PR:N as MMS connections require no credentials; A:H for service termination; C:N as crash precedes any confirmed data exfiltration.

Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
The MMS BER decoder contains a flaw in decoding fixed-width BER fields (boolean/integer): an attacker-supplied length value is not validated, causing a read past the end of a heap buffer. This leads to termination of the MMS service process and a denial-of-service condition.
AnalysisAI
Heap buffer over-read in MZ Automation GmbH's libiec61850 (versions prior to 1.6.2) allows an unauthenticated adjacent-network attacker to crash the MMS service process by sending a crafted BER-encoded message with an invalid length value in a BOOLEAN or INTEGER field. The MMS BER decoder performs no bounds validation on the attacker-supplied length, causing a read past the end of a heap-allocated buffer and subsequent process termination. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target host must be running an application built on libiec61850 with its MMS server functionality active and reachable on the adjacent network (AV:A). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score with AV:A (adjacent network) is the most significant risk-limiting factor - the attacker must have layer-2 or routed adjacent-network access to the MMS service, excluding open-internet attackers in properly segmented OT environments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with access to the substation LAN or industrial control network segment sends a crafted MMS connection request or data message containing a BER-encoded field (BOOLEAN or INTEGER type) with a length value exceeding the actual buffer allocation. The libiec61850 BER decoder trusts this length without validation, reads beyond the heap buffer boundary, and the resulting memory access violation terminates the MMS service process, severing all MMS communications to the affected IEC 61850 device. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade libiec61850 to version 1.6.2 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per CISA advisory ICSA-26-211-10 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-211-10) and EUVD-2026-51342. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all systems and applications using libiec61850 versions prior to 1.6.2 and assess which are deployed in production or safety-critical environments. …
