CVE-2025-15080 — Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R Series R08PCPU, R16PCPU, R32PCPU...

High CVSS 8.8

Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R Series R08PCPU, R16PCPU, R32PCPU, and R120PCPU allows an unauthenticated attacker to read device data or part of a control program from the affected product, write device data in the affected product, or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the affected product by sending a specially crafted packet containing a specific command to the affected product.

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.
