EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

An exploitable stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the iocheckd service ‘I/O-Check’ functionality of WAGO PFC 200 version 03.02.02(14). A specially crafted XML cache file written to a specific location on the device can cause a stack buffer overflow, resulting in code execution. An attacker can send a specially crafted packet to trigger the parsing of this cache file.

remediations

Vendor fix, mitigation, or workaround guidance, as published by each source.

A vendor fix is available.

  • Fixedwago_psirt

    The I/O-Check service protocol is only needed during installation and commissioning, not during normal operations. It is highly recommended to disable the I/O-Check service after commissioning. This is the easiest and securest way to protect your device from the listed vulnerabilities. Regardless of the action described above, the vulnerabilities are expected to be fixed in FW16 Release in Q2/2020.

  • Mitigationwago_psirt

    * Disable I/O-Check service. * Restrict network access to the device. * Do not directly connect the device to the internet. * Disable unused TCP/UDP-ports.
