CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 3.10%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.10%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

A Stack-based Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in 3S-Smart CODESYS Web Server. Specifically: all Microsoft Windows (also WinCE) based CODESYS web servers running stand-alone Version 2.3, or as part of the CODESYS runtime system running prior to Version V1.1.9.19. A crafted request may cause a buffer overflow and could therefore execute arbitrary code on the web server or lead to a denial-of-service condition due to a crash in the web server.
