Impact
The DVP-12SE programmable logic controller runs a Modbus TCP service that is exposed on a specified port but offers no authentication or access control. This flaw allows any network participant to connect and issue Modbus commands that interact with security-sensitive PLC functions, enabling unauthorized writes to the controller’s logic, parameters, or operational state. Such unauthorized modifications can compromise the integrity of industrial processes and potentially cause safety or availability incidents.
Affected Systems
Delta Electronics PLCs model DVP-12SE are affected; the specific firmware or software version is not listed in the CVE data, but the vulnerability applies to all deployments of the DVP-12SE platform that expose the Modbus TCP service.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.3, indicating a high severity and a likely possibility of remote exploitation. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be network-based, where an unauthenticated attacker initiates Modbus TCP communication to the PLC and performs unauthorized writes. The weakness is classified as CWE‑306, reflecting missing authentication.
