    The Festo controller CECC product family is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the CODESYS V3 runtime.

  • FSA-202203Festo: Controller CECC-S,LK,D family firmware 2.4.2.0 - multiple vulnerabilities in CODESYS V3 runtime system2022-07-18csaf · festo_psirtDE

    The Festo controller CECC product family in firmware version 2.4.2.0 is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the CODESYS V3 runtime.

  • FSA-202208Festo: Multiple Festo products contain an unsafe default Codesys configuration2022-11-29csaf · festo_psirtDE

    The products are shipped with an unsafe configuration of the integrated CODESYS Runtime environment. In this case no default password is set to the CODESYS PLC and therefore access without authentication is possible. With a successful established connection to the CODESYS Runtime the PLC-Browser commands are available. Thus granting the possibilities to e.g. read and modify the configuration file(s), start/stop the application and reboot the device.

  • 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.
