CISA ICS Advisories Flag High-Severity DoS Flaws in Rockwell Automation ArmorStart LT and ControlLogix
CISA published ICS advisories warning that multiple Rockwell Automation products contain remotely triggerable vulnerabilities that can cause denial-of-service (DoS) conditions. In ArmorStart LT (models 290D/291D/294D running <= v2.002), CISA lists multiple CVEs (including CVE-2025-9464/9465/9466 and CVE-2025-9278 through CVE-2025-9283) tied to uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400). The issue can be triggered during fuzzing of multiple CIP classes, causing the device’s CIP port to become unresponsive; CISA rates the condition CVSS 7.5 (HIGH).
A separate CISA advisory covers ControlLogix 1756-RM2 and 1756-RM2XT Redundancy Enhanced Modules (firmware all versions) impacted by CVE-2025-14027, described as resource-exhaustion and memory-management problems (CWE-401) that can be triggered via crafted inputs such as malformed Class 3 messages. Exploitation may render devices unresponsive and can lead to a major nonrecoverable fault requiring a restart; CISA also rates this CVSS 7.5 (HIGH) and notes broad deployment across multiple critical infrastructure sectors. A separate report about a Johnson Controls Metasys SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-26385, CVSS 10) is a different vendor/product and is not part of the Rockwell advisories described above.

CISA ICS Advisories Highlight Multiple High-Impact Vulnerabilities Across Industrial and IoT Products
CISA published multiple Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories detailing vulnerabilities across a range of OT and connected-device products, including **critical** issues in *AVEVA Process Optimization* (multiple CVEs) that could enable unauthenticated **remote code execution**, SQL injection, privilege escalation, and sensitive data exposure in affected versions (<=2024.1). Additional advisories describe flaws in several **Siemens** product lines, including a DoS condition in **SIMATIC/SIPLUS ET 200** components triggered via an S7 protocol disconnect request (`CVE-2025-40944`), a TLS certificate upload input-validation issue that can crash/reboot **RUGGEDCOM ROS** devices (`CVE-2025-40935`), a local privilege escalation in **TeleControl Server Basic** prior to V3.1.2.4 (`CVE-2025-40942`), and multiple issues in **SINEC Security Monitor** (including improper authorization in `ssmctl-client` file transfer and report-generation DoS; `CVE-2025-40830`, `CVE-2025-40831`). CISA also noted vulnerabilities affecting **Siemens Industrial Edge** ecosystems, including an authorization bypass in the **Industrial Edge Device Kit** (`CVE-2025-40805`) and authentication enforcement weaknesses on specific API endpoints in **Industrial Edge Devices** that could allow impersonation if an attacker knows a legitimate user identity. Other CISA advisories covered **Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Power Build Rapsody** (`CVE-2025-13844`), where importing a malicious project file (SSD) could trigger memory corruption (e.g., double free/use-after-free) and potentially arbitrary code execution, and **Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk DataMosaix Private Cloud** (`CVE-2025-12807`), where low-privilege users could perform sensitive database operations via exposed API endpoints (SQL injection class). Separately, CISA warned about **YoSmart/YoLink** weaknesses (multiple CVEs) including insufficient authorization controls in the MQTT broker enabling cross-account device control when device IDs are obtained (with IDs described as predictable), plus additional issues such as cleartext transmission and predictable identifiers. A non-CISA item in the set reported Cisco releasing updates for a max-severity **AsyncOS** vulnerability under active exploitation (`CVE-2025-20393`) affecting *Secure Email Gateway* and *Secure Email and Web Manager* appliances, including evidence of attacker-installed persistence and attribution by Cisco Talos to **UAT-9686**; this is a separate enterprise email-security incident and not part of the ICS advisory set.
