A vulnerability in the Wibu CodeMeter Runtime, which is part of the installation packages of several Festo products, was found.

An attacker exploiting the vulnerability in WIBU CodeMeter Runtime in server mode could gain full access to the affected server via network access without any user interaction. This could lead to remote code execution and escalation of privileges giving full admin access on the host system for an already authenticated user (logged in locally to the PC).

Festo AX OS versions 25.0.1.46 and 25.9.2.4, which are based on PLCnext by Phoenix Contact, used by the Festo product CEPE are affected by multiple OpenSSL vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities are identified as CVE-2025-15467 and CVE-2025-69419. Attacks may be possible when maliciously crafted firmware, key files, PKCS#12 files, CMS/PKCS#7 content, or digitally signed objects are uploaded and processed by the affected system. In the device context, exploitation typically requires a logged-in user with high privileges or the processing of attacker-supplied cryptographic objects.

A successful attack using manipulated firmware, key files, PKCS#12 files, CMS/PKCS#7 content, or digitally signed objects may lead to memory corruption, application crash, or denial of service. Depending on the affected code path, execution context, platform protections, and toolchain mitigations, execution of malicious code may be possible. This can jeopardize confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
