- 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.
- VDE-2021-049WAGO: Denial of Service Vulnerability in CODESYS Runtime 2.32021-11-16csaf · wago_psirtDE
A Denial-of-Service Vulnerability was reported in CODESYS 2.3 Runtime. The CODESYS 2.3 Runtime is an essential component in several WAGO PLC's. All vulnerable PLCs are listed in chapter 'Affected Products'.
- VDE-2021-054Pilz: Multiple vulnerabilities in CODESYS V2 and V3 runtime system2022-04-26csaf · pilz_psirtDE
Several Pilz products use Versions V2 and V3 of the CODESYS runtime system from CODESYS GmbH, which enables the execution of IEC 61131-3 PLC programs. These runtime environments contain several vulnerabilities, which an attacker can exploit via the network. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in reduced availability and, in a worst case, to the insertion of program code.
- VDE-2021-055Pilz: PMC programming tool 2.x.x affected by multiple vulnerabilities2022-04-26csaf · pilz_psirtDE
The software product PMC programming tool from Pilz is based on the software CODESYS Development System from CODESYS GmbH. This software is affected by several vulnerabilities, which an attacker can exploit locally or via the network. This means that, in a worst case, attackers could execute arbitrary program code on the PC on which the PMC programming tool is used.
