CVE-2026-75353: OpENer out-of-bounds read in EtherNet/IP ForwardOpen parser

CVE-2026-75353 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-09

OpENer is an EtherNet/IP stack used in industrial I/O adapter devices to enable network communication for factory automation and control systems. A flaw in the ForwardOpen connection-path parser allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a malformed network packet, potentially disrupting industrial equipment operations.

Technologies: EIPStackGroup OpENer. Vendors: EIPStackGroup.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read in the server-side EtherNet/IP ForwardOpen ParseConnectionPath() function caused by insufficient validation of the Simple Data segment length against the remaining path buffer. This causes the remaining_path counter to underflow, leading to an out-of-bounds read in GetPathSegmentType(). A remote attacker can exploit this over the network by sending a crafted ForwardOpen message to trigger the condition and cause a denial of service.
