CWE-303 : Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm vulnerability exists that could cause loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability of the PLC provided an application project with a lower application level is running on the PLC.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Schneider Electric Modicon M580 and Modicon M580 Safety PLCs stems from an incorrectly implemented authentication algorithm (CWE-303) that can be abused when an application project built at a lower application level is running on the controller. Remote attackers can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the PLC, per the vendor's CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.2. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that an application project with a lower application level is running on the target Modicon M580 or M580 Safety PLC - this is the concrete Attack Requirement (AT:P) that gates the flaw; controllers running projects at a higher application level are not exploitable via this path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, 9.2) indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated attack with low complexity but a present Attack Requirement (AT:P) - the key limiting factor is that a project with a lower application level must be running on the PLC, so exploitability is conditional on device configuration rather than universal. … 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 | Apply the remediation described in Schneider Electric advisory SEVD-2026-251-04 (https://download.se.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SEVD-2026-251-04&p_enDocType=Security+and+Safety+Notice&p_File_Name=SEVD-2026-251-04.pdf); Patch available per vendor advisory, but no exact fixed version is present in the supplied data, so confirm the target firmware release against the notice before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all Modicon M580 and Modicon M580 Safety PLCs in operation; identify systems running lower-level application projects; document remote network accessibility from untrusted segments. …
