Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: A Stack Buffer Overflow in WAGO Industrial-Managed-Switches (0852-1322/1328). π **Consequences**: Parsing malicious HTTP requests with long SESSIONID cookies causes service crashes.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow). π» **Flaw**: The device fails to properly validate the length of the `SESSIONID` cookie in HTTP requests. π¦ This leads to memory corruption on the stack.
π΅οΈ **Hackers' Power**: Can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the service. π **Data/Privs**: CVSS indicates **High** impact on Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.β¦
π **Threshold**: LOW. π **Network**: Attack Vector is Network (AV:N). π **Auth**: No Privileges Required (PR:N). π€ **User Interaction**: None (UI:N). π― **Complexity**: Low (AC:L). Easy to exploit remotely.
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
π« **Public Exploit**: No. π **PoCs**: Empty list in data. π° **References**: Only a VDE Advisory (VDE-2026-004) exists. No known wild exploitation or public code yet.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Self-Check**: Scan for WAGO switches (Models 0852-1322/1328). π‘ **Test**: Send crafted HTTP requests with oversized `SESSIONID` cookies.β¦
π οΈ **Official Fix**: Data does not list a specific patch version. π **Published**: 2026-02-09. β **Action**: Check vendor site for updates. The VDE advisory is the primary source for mitigation info.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π§ **Workaround**: Implement strict input validation at the WAF/Proxy level. π« **Block**: Filter or truncate HTTP requests with unusually long `SESSIONID` cookies.β¦
