- Advisory2026-04_VDE-2026-040CODESYS EtherNetIP - Improper timeout handling2026-07-13csaf · codesys_psirtDE
CODESYS EtherNet/IP is an add‑on for the CODESYS Development System that provides a fully integrated EtherNet/IP protocol stack along with diagnostic capabilities. A flaw in the EtherNet/IP adapter protocol stack library results in a vulnerability within the generated application code. When an EtherNet/IP adapter is configured, this vulnerable protocol stack is downloaded to and executed by CODESYS Control runtime systems. Under certain non‑standard operating conditions, the EtherNet/IP adapter fails to perform timeout checks on active TCP connections. As a result, once all available TCP connections are in use, expired connections are not released and no new TCP connections can be established. Existing connections remain unaffected and continue to operate normally. This issue affects only CODESYS projects that include an EtherNet/IP adapter configuration.
