CVE-2025-11782

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Circutor SGE-PLC1000/SGE-PLC50 allows remote code execution by sending an overly long 'meter' parameter. This affects industrial control systems using these specific PLC devices, potentially compromising critical infrastructure operations.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Circutor SGE-PLC1000
  • Circutor SGE-PLC50
Versions: v9.0.2
Operating Systems: Embedded PLC firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the web interface component of these PLC devices. No special configuration required for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise leading to remote code execution, device takeover, and potential disruption of industrial processes or safety systems.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution allowing attackers to manipulate PLC logic, disrupt operations, or pivot to other industrial network systems.

🟢

If Mitigated

Denial of service or limited impact if network segmentation and access controls prevent exploitation attempts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - These devices are often deployed in industrial environments with internet connectivity for remote management.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, compromised PLCs can disrupt critical industrial processes and serve as pivot points.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

The vulnerability is straightforward to exploit due to lack of input validation and buffer size checking.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso-sci/multiple-vulnerabilities-circutor-products-0

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Monitor vendor website for firmware updates. Consider workarounds and mitigation strategies.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate affected PLC devices in separate network segments with strict firewall rules.

Access Control

all

Restrict network access to PLC web interfaces using IP whitelisting and authentication.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network monitoring and intrusion detection for abnormal traffic to PLC devices
  • Consider replacing vulnerable devices with patched alternatives if available

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware version via web interface or serial console. Version 9.0.2 is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check via web interface at http://[device-ip]/status or serial console commands specific to device model.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has been updated beyond 9.0.2 when patch becomes available.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusually long HTTP requests to PLC web interface
  • Multiple failed connection attempts to PLC ports

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests with meter parameter exceeding normal length
  • Traffic to PLC web interface from unexpected sources

SIEM Query:

source_ip:* dest_ip:[PLC_IP] http.uri:*meter* AND http.request_length>100
