High CVSS 7.8

A vulnerability has been identified in CPC80 Central Processing/Communication (All versions < V16.41), CPCI85 Central Processing/Communication (All versions < V5.30), CPCX26 Central Processing/Communication (All versions < V06.02), ETA4 Ethernet Interface IEC60870-5-104 (All versions < V10.46), ETA5 Ethernet Int. 1x100TX IEC61850 Ed.2 (All versions < V03.27), PCCX26 Ax 1703 PE, Contr, Communication Element (All versions < V06.05). The affected devices contain an improper null termination vulnerability while parsing a specific HTTP header. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process or lead to denial of service condition.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
