CVE-2026-109097: Siemens ROS# code injection in message definition parsing

CVE-2026-109097 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.2 · Published 2026-11-10

ROS# is a .NET library that enables applications to communicate with ROS (Robot Operating System) robotics nodes. A code injection vulnerability in message definition file parsing allows an attacker who can supply a crafted file to inject and execute arbitrary code in applications using the library. This could lead to complete compromise of any application or robotics system using the affected ROS# version.

Vendors: Siemens.

Quick answers

Is CVE-2026-109097 exploited in the wild?
No. Junglewise Threat Intelligence has no report of CVE-2026-109097 being exploited in the wild.

High severity, with a CVSS score of 8.2, published 10 November 2026.
Which products and versions are affected?
Siemens ROS# All versions before 2.3.1.
Is there a fix for CVE-2026-109097?
Yes: fixed in ROS# 2.3.1 and later. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
How is CVE-2026-109097 attacked?
It is attacked with local access, in a software library.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-109097?
Check whether you run Siemens ROS# 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: ROS# 2.3.1 and later

Technical details

ROS# versions before 2.3.1 fail to properly escape text in message definition files during code generation, enabling code injection attacks (CWE-94). An attacker with local access who can deliver a malicious message definition file to a user triggers arbitrary code execution in the generated program when that definition is processed. The vulnerability requires user interaction (file opening/processing) and local privilege or access, but no network access is needed.

Affected products

  • Siemens ROS# All versions before 2.3.1
