EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced (All versions). Affected devices do not properly handle high-volume multicast network traffic, which can exhaust available memory resources in the affected application. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker on the local network segment to cause a denial-of-service condition of the affected application. The affected application becomes inaccessible and requires a manual restart; no project data is lost. Successful exploitation requires a specific project configuration to be already active on the targeted instance.

remediations

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

No vendor fix yet; a mitigation is available.

  • MitigationSIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advancedsiemens_psirt

    Disable the S7-PLCSIM Virtual Switch binding on the network adapter used by the affected instance. This prevents the adapter from entering an external communication mode and removes the attack vector entirely. (see SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced Function Manual V8.0, 11/2025 Section 5.3 and Section 6.1.2.3; and SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced Function Manual API V8.0, 11/2025 Section 7.2)
