CVE-2026-102074: Siemens APOGEE/TALON FTP input validation denial of service

CVE-2026-102074 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-13

Building automation controllers from Siemens (APOGEE and TALON products) contain an FTP service that does not properly validate user input length, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the device. This could disrupt critical HVAC, lighting, or other facility management systems that these controllers operate. The FTP service is disabled by default but can be enabled for maintenance purposes.

Technologies: Siemens APOGEE MBC (PPC) (BACnet), Siemens APOGEE MBC (PPC) (P2 Ethernet), Siemens APOGEE MEC (PPC) (BACnet), Siemens APOGEE MEC (PPC) (P2 Ethernet), Siemens APOGEE PXC Compact (BACnet), Siemens APOGEE PXC Compact (P2 Ethernet), Siemens APOGEE PXC Modular (BACnet), Siemens APOGEE PXC Modular (P2 Ethernet), Siemens TALON TC Compact (BACnet), Siemens TALON TC Modular (BACnet). Vendors: Siemens.

Am I affected by CVE-2026-102074?
Check whether you run Siemens APOGEE MBC (PPC) (BACnet), Siemens APOGEE MBC (PPC) (P2 Ethernet), Siemens APOGEE MEC (PPC) (BACnet) or one of the others listed at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: APOGEE PXC Compact (BACnet) V3.5.7 or later; APOGEE PXC Compact (P2 Ethernet) V2.8.21 or later; APOGEE PXC Modular (BACnet) V3.5.7 or later; APOGEE PXC Modular (P2 Ethernet) V2.8.21 or later; TALON TC Compact (BACnet) V3.5.7 or later; TALON TC Modular (BACnet) V3.5.7 or later

Disable the FTP/Web service if not required for maintenance; note that this service is disabled by default on APOGEE and TALON products.

Technical details

The FTP service in affected Siemens controllers fails to validate the length of user-supplied input, enabling a denial-of-service attack through oversized input that crashes the service or device. An unauthenticated attacker on the network can trigger this condition remotely without authentication. The vulnerability affects multiple product lines; fixes are available for some (PXC/TALON devices) but not yet for APOGEE MBC/MEC.
