CVE-2026-1875 — Mitsubishielectric Melsec Iq-F Fx5-Eip Firmware security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.7

Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation MELSEC iQ-F Series FX5-EIP EtherNet/IP Module FX5-EIP versions 1.000 and prior allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the products by continuously sending UDP packets to the products. A system reset of the product is required for recovery.

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.
