Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only network reachability to the Reyrolle 7SR5 web server port; no authentication, no active session, no special configuration, and no user interaction are needed. The attacker must be able to initiate a high volume of concurrent TCP/HTTP connections to the device's management interface. Exploitation is bounded by firmware version (only versions prior to V2.70 are vulnerable) and by network topology - relays correctly placed in a segmented OT management VLAN with ingress ACLs restricting access to authorized management workstations are not reachable from untrusted networks. There is no cryptographic prerequisite, no exploit chain, and no prior foothold required.

Impact

The Siemens-provided CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H) accurately characterizes the attack profile: unauthenticated, low-complexity, remotely triggerable, with full availability impact on the vulnerable system and no confidentiality or integrity dimension. In a standard IT context an unauthenticated DoS scoring 8.7 would be high priority but not exceptional. In the OT/ICS context of a protection relay, however, the operational stakes are substantially higher - a device restart during an electrical fault event could prevent protective tripping, creating a safety gap and potential equipment damage window. The attack is trivially automatable using any HTTP stress-testing tool and requires no specialized knowledge beyond knowing the device's IP address. No public exploit code has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists, suggesting no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis; however, the zero-authentication, low-complexity nature makes this straightforward to exploit opportunistically if the management interface is improperly exposed. The primary risk mitigator is proper OT network segmentation: relays correctly placed behind firewall or VLAN controls are not directly reachable from untrusted networks.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network access to the Reyrolle 7SR5 web management interface uses a freely available HTTP benchmarking or flood tool to send hundreds of concurrent TCP connections and HTTP requests to the device. The relay's embedded web server, lacking any concurrency throttle, attempts to allocate resources for every connection simultaneously, exhausting the device's available memory and processing capacity. The entire relay firmware crashes and reboots, leaving all electrical protection functions unavailable for the duration of the restart cycle - a window during which the relay cannot respond to fault conditions on the monitored circuit.

AnalysisAIv2 – Sep 08, 2026

Denial-of-service via resource exhaustion in the Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 protection relay (all firmware versions before V2.70) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash and reboot the entire device by flooding its embedded web server with a high volume of concurrent HTTP requests. Because the web server imposes no concurrency limits or allocation throttles (CWE-770), the device's constrained embedded resources are exhausted, triggering a full system restart rather than just a web-service failure. In OT/ICS environments where Reyrolle 7SR5 relays perform electrical protection functions, a forced restart creates an operational availability gap that may have safety-critical consequences during fault events. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis.

v1 Sep 08, 2026 - 09:05 CVSS 7.5

Unauthenticated remote denial-of-service in the Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 protection relay allows an attacker to crash and reboot the device by flooding its embedded web server with a high volume of concurrent HTTP requests. All firmware versions prior to V2.70 are affected, with the root cause being the absence of resource throttling or connection limits on the HTTP listener (CWE-770). In OT/ICS contexts, availability loss on a protection relay carries operational consequences beyond a typical DoS - interrupting protective relay functions may leave electrical equipment unprotected during a fault. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade all Reyrolle 7SR5 devices to firmware version V2.70 or later, which corrects the resource-management deficiency in the embedded web server; consult the Siemens advisory at https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-142885.html for update procedures. Prior to patching, restrict network access to the device's HTTP management port using OT firewall rules or VLAN segmentation so that only explicitly authorized management hosts can reach the relay's web interface - this directly prevents an attacker from delivering the HTTP flood required to trigger the vulnerability. If the web management interface is not operationally required (for example, if the relay is configured and monitored exclusively via IEC 61850 or serial protocols), disabling the web server is the most effective compensating control with no functional impact on protection operations. Siemens OT security guidance and IEC 62443 network segmentation principles should be applied as baseline controls regardless of patching status.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 is a digital protection relay used in electrical distribution and industrial power systems, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:siemens:reyrolle_7sr5. It includes an embedded web server for configuration and monitoring purposes. The root cause is CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling): the web server component lacks HTTP connection rate limiting, concurrent-request caps, or memory/thread pool bounds. Because embedded relay hardware operates with tightly constrained resources, a flood of simultaneous HTTP requests exhausts system-level resources - not just web-server-level ones - causing the entire device firmware to crash and initiate a reboot cycle. This behavior is characteristic of resource-exhaustion DoS on embedded OT devices where web service processes share the same resource pool as the primary protection application.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been identified in Reyrolle 7SR5 (All versions < V2.70). The web server does not properly limit or manage system resources when processing a high volume of concurrent HTTP requests. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause the entire device to crash and reboot, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 electrical protection relays are vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack that forces device restarts, creating operational gaps in critical power-system protection functions. Unauthenticated attackers can remotely trigger this vulnerability by overwhelming the device's embedded web server, and no vendor patch is currently available, leaving affected organizations exposed. For utilities and industrial operators relying on these relays for grid stability and fault protection, this represents a significant availability risk that could coincide with safety-critical events.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Without a vendor patch, implement network segmentation to restrict access to the embedded web server, enforce strict firewall rate-limiting rules on HTTP traffic, and consider air-gapping or VLAN isolation for devices not requiring remote management. Monitor network traffic patterns for anomalous high-volume HTTP requests and maintain heightened incident-response readiness to restore protection relay functionality quickly if an attack occurs.
