CVE-2025-41659CODESYS Control PKI Exposure Enables Remote Certificate Access
High 8.3
In plain English
A high-severity incorrect permission assignment in Control for BeagleBone SL from CODESYS. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 18% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A low-privileged attacker can remotely access the PKI folder of the CODESYS Control runtime system and thus read and write certificates and its keys. This allows sensitive data to be extracted or to accept certificates as trusted. Although all services remain available, only unencrypted communication is possible if the certificates are deleted.
