1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated session (PR:L) to the web-based management interface of a PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S switch running V1 firmware before 1.2412b260707 or V2 firmware before 2.2412b260519, plus network reachability to that web server. The specific trigger is sending data that exceeds a fixed-size stack buffer's bounds in the web server's request handling. Limiting factors: valid credentials are needed (not unauthenticated), the management plane must be network-reachable to the attacker, and high attack complexity (AC:H) means reliable code execution requires overcoming device memory-layout/protections - a straightforward crash/DoS is the more accessible outcome. Devices patched to the fixed firmware builds are not affected. |
| Impact | The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.7 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, indicating a network-reachable but authenticated (PR:L) flaw of high attack complexity (AC:H) that, if successfully exploited, fully compromises the affected device's confidentiality, integrity, and availability (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N so no scope change to other systems). This is a genuine dual-outcome weakness: reliable DoS is the likely floor, while arbitrary code execution on the underlying OS is the stated ceiling but is gated by AC:H (exploiting a stack overflow into working RCE typically requires defeating device-specific memory layout/protections). Exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - there is no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score, and no POC referenced in the provided intelligence; the only sources are the PLANET security advisory and a VulnCheck advisory. Weighing signals: this is a real, patch-worthy priority for anyone operating these specific industrial switches (authenticated attacker on the management plane can crash or potentially own the device), but the combination of required authentication, high attack complexity, and absence of any exploitation/POC evidence keeps it below the tier of an actively-exploited, mass-scannable bug. No conflicting signals were found - the CVSS network vector is consistent with a web-server flaw, and the authenticated qualifier (PR:L) matches the description's 'remote authenticated attacker.' |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds valid (even low-privilege) credentials or an authenticated session to the switch's web management interface sends a crafted HTTP request with an oversized field that overflows a fixed-size stack buffer during copying. This crashes the web server (guaranteed DoS) or, with a device-specific exploit defeating memory protections, executes attacker-controlled code on the switch OS. No public exploit code is referenced, and the high attack complexity (AC:H) means weaponized RCE would require tailored development effort. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 18, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in the web management server of PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S industrial managed switches lets an authenticated remote attacker (PR:L) crash the device for a denial of service or, with greater effort, execute arbitrary code on the underlying operating system. Affected are V1 firmware before 1.2412b260707 and V2 firmware before 2.2412b260519; exploitation requires network reachability to the switch web interface, valid credentials, and high attack complexity (AC:H) to achieve reliable code execution, so a straightforward crash/DoS is the more accessible outcome. There is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; vendor firmware fixes are available.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S V1 switches to firmware 1.2412b260707 and V2 switches to firmware 2.2412b260519, available via https://www.planet.com.tw/en/support/security-advisory/11. Until the switch can be updated, restrict the web management interface to a dedicated management VLAN or an allow-list of trusted administrative hosts, disable or firewall TCP access to the web server from user/OT segments (this blocks exploitation but also prevents legitimate remote management and may break monitoring integrations), and consider disabling the HTTP/web UI in favor of console or SSH-based management where supported (trade-off: reduced convenience and potential loss of web-only features). Enforce strong, unique administrator credentials and monitor switch logs for repeated malformed HTTP requests that indicate probing of the stack buffer; note these are compensating controls only and do not remove the underlying bounds-checking defect.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow: data supplied to the switch's embedded web server is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, so an oversized request overwrites adjacent stack memory (saved registers, return addresses) and can hijack control flow or simply crash the process. Per the CPE data, the affected platforms are the PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S hardware revisions V1 (cpe:2.3:a:planet_technology_corp.:planet_igs-5225-8p2t4s_v1) and V2 (cpe:2.3:a:planet_technology_corp.:planet_igs-5225-8p2t4s_v2), both of which expose a web-based management plane on the industrial switch's network stack. The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) and the independent assessment (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) agree on the prerequisites: network reach to the management interface plus a valid authenticated session, with high complexity reflecting mitigations in the device's memory layout that make robust RCE harder than a crash. Success yields full compromise of the switch's confidentiality, integrity and availability without scope change to other systems.

DescriptionCVE.org
PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S industrial managed switch V1 and V2 firmware versions before 1.2412b260707 and 2.2412b260519 contain a stack-based buffer overflow in the web server. Insufficient bounds checking on data copied into a stack buffer allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the underlying operating system.
Executive ViewAI
PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S industrial managed switches are exposed to a high-severity web-management flaw that could allow an authenticated remote user to crash the device and disrupt network availability, with a harder path to code execution. This matters most for organizations relying on these switches in industrial or operational networks, where an outage could interrupt dependent systems and require urgent recovery. Leadership should prioritize firmware upgrades and reduce management-interface exposure because the flaw is remotely reachable, although successful exploitation currently requires valid credentials, network access, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
