Service interruption via malformed IPv6 packets
Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Improper input validation in Schneider Electric Enerlin'X IFE/eIFE all versions allows remote attackers to cause outages via malicious IPv6 packets. The embedded IPv6 packet-processing path fails to reject malformed traffic, leaving IEC 61850 services unavailable until the device is manually rebooted. The attacker requires unauthenticated access from an adjacent network; Schneider Electric has not published the malformed fields or deeper parser defect.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
