Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediately isolate DIRIS Digiware M-70 devices from untrusted networks and restrict Modbus TCP traffic to trusted management networks only. 2. Implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules to block unauthorized access to Modbus TCP ports (typically port 502). 3. Monitor network traffic for unusual or malformed Modbus packets that could indicate exploitation attempts. 4. Engage with Socomec support to obtain firmware updates or patches addressing this vulnerability as they become available. 5. If patching is not immediately possible, consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or anomaly detection for Modbus protocol misuse. 6. Conduct regular security assessments of industrial control systems to identify and remediate similar authentication weaknesses. 7. Train operational technology (OT) personnel on the risks of unauthenticated protocols and the importance of network controls. 8. Maintain an inventory of all devices running DIRIS Digiware M-70 and verify their firmware versions to prioritize remediation efforts.

Description

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Modbus TCP functionality of Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 1.6.9. A specially crafted network packet can lead to denial of service. An attacker can send an unauthenticated packet to trigger this vulnerability.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those in industrial, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure sectors, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to operational availability. The DIRIS Digiware M-70 is used for power monitoring and energy management, so a denial of service could lead to loss of visibility into power consumption and potential failure to detect power anomalies or faults. This can disrupt industrial processes, cause downtime, and impact energy efficiency initiatives. In critical infrastructure environments such as utilities or data centers, such disruptions could have broader implications, including safety risks and regulatory non-compliance. The ease of exploitation without authentication means that attackers could launch DoS attacks from within the network or potentially from external sources if the device is exposed. This could lead to operational interruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the high severity score underscores the urgency of addressing this vulnerability.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #21OWASP Top 10 A07:2025: Authentication Failures (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
Architecture and Design
Divide the software into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Identify which of these areas require a proven user identity, and use a centralized authentication capability.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
Architecture and Design
Where possible, avoid implementing custom, "grow-your-own" authentication routines and consider using authentication capabilities as provided by the surrounding framework, operating system, or environment.
