CVE-2025-3112

6.5 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service by sending manipulated HTTPS Content-Length headers to the webserver, leading to uncontrolled resource consumption. It affects Schneider Electric products running vulnerable web server software.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Schneider Electric products with vulnerable web server components
Versions: Specific versions not detailed in provided reference; check vendor advisory for exact ranges
Operating Systems: Embedded systems running Schneider Electric software
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires authenticated access to exploit; default configurations with web interfaces enabled are vulnerable.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete service outage of affected web servers, potentially disrupting critical operations in industrial environments.

🟠

Likely Case

Temporary service degradation or unavailability of web interfaces until resource consumption normalizes.

🟢

If Mitigated

Minimal impact with proper network segmentation and authentication controls limiting attack surface.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires authenticated access but involves simple manipulation of HTTP headers.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched versions

Vendor Advisory: https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SEVD-2025-161-02&p_enDocType=Security+and+Safety+Notice&p_File_Name=SEVD-2025-161-02.pdf

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Review vendor advisory for affected products. 2. Download and apply recommended patches from Schneider Electric. 3. Restart affected systems as required. 4. Verify patch application.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Restrict access to web interfaces to trusted networks only

Authentication Hardening

all

Implement strong authentication controls and monitor for suspicious login attempts

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network access controls to limit web interface access to essential personnel only
  • Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to block malformed Content-Length headers

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check product version against vendor advisory; test with controlled Content-Length manipulation if authorized

Check Version:

Product-specific; consult Schneider Electric documentation for version query commands

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify patch version installation and test that malformed Content-Length headers no longer cause resource exhaustion

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by unusual Content-Length values in HTTP logs
  • Resource exhaustion alerts from system monitoring

Network Indicators:

  • Unusually large Content-Length headers in HTTPS traffic to affected systems

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (Content-Length > 1000000 OR Content-Length < 0) AND dest_ip IN [affected_systems]
