CVE-2023-23452Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via RK512 commands

Published Feb 20, 2023 · Updated Mar 18, 2025

Missing authentication in SICK FX0-GPNT v3 firmware 3.04 and 3.05 allows remote attackers to execute code through TCP port 9000. The RK512 configuration listener accepts crafted commands without authenticating the sender. Network access to the exposed listener is sufficient to alter gateway operation, cause permanent denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
