- FSA-202202Festo: Controller CECC-S,LK,D family <= 2.3.8.1 - multiple vulnerabilities in CODESYS V3 runtime system2022-07-18csaf · festo_psirtDE
The Festo controller CECC product family is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the CODESYS V3 runtime.
- FSA-202601Several CODESYS vulnerabilities in Festo Automation Suite2026-02-26csaf · festo_psirtDE
Starting with Festo Automation Suite (FAS) version 2.8.0.138, the suite is delivered only with a connector to Codesys, rather than including Codesys directly. Prior to this version, Codesys was bundled within the FAS installation. From version 2.8.0.138 onwards, customers are required to download and install Codesys independently. This change impacts the handling of security vulnerabilities (CVEs) related to Codesys. Any Codesys-related security issues must now be addressed by the customer through their separate Codesys installation. The FAS itself includes only the connector component, which is maintained and updated within the suite. Please ensure that Codesys is kept up to date independently to mitigate any potential security risks associated with the Codesys software.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to disguise the source of malicious communication packets and also exploit a random values weakness affecting confidentiality and integrity of data stored on the device.
