CVE-2026-75351: OpENer out-of-bounds read in ForwardOpen connection-path parser

CVE-2026-75351 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-09

OpENer is an EtherNet/IP stack used in industrial I/O adapter devices to communicate over Ethernet networks. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted EtherNet/IP packet to cause the server to read memory beyond the bounds of its receive buffer, crashing the device and causing a denial of service.

Technologies: EIPStackGroup OpENer. Vendors: EIPStackGroup.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read in ParseConnectionPath() where the parser advances the message pointer by the actual segment encoding width but decrements the remaining_path counter by the decoded value size heuristic, causing desynchronization. A remote attacker can craft a ForwardOpen message with 32-bit logical class/instance/connection-point segments to trigger reading past the end of the TCP receive buffer, reliably crashing the server process.
