CVE-2025-62580 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability identified in Delta Electronics' ASDA-Soft software, a product commonly used in industrial automation and control systems. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-121, indicating that improper handling of buffer boundaries on the stack can lead to memory corruption. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 reflects a high severity, with an attack vector classified as local (AV:L), requiring low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). Successful exploitation can result in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The overflow can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by crashing the application. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the critical nature of industrial control systems that ASDA-Soft supports. The affected version is listed as '0', which likely indicates an initial or early release version, emphasizing the need for immediate attention. The lack of available patches at the time of publication necessitates proactive mitigation strategies. The vulnerability was reserved and published on October 16, 2025, by the assigner Deltaww.

For European organizations, especially those in manufacturing, industrial automation, and critical infrastructure sectors, this vulnerability could lead to severe operational disruptions. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to unauthorized control over industrial processes, data theft, or sabotage. The compromise of system integrity and availability could result in production downtime, safety hazards, and financial losses. Confidentiality breaches could expose sensitive operational data or intellectual property. Given the local attack vector and requirement for user interaction, insider threats or compromised user accounts pose a significant risk. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation, but the critical nature of affected systems elevates the urgency for remediation. European industries relying on Delta Electronics' ASDA-Soft software are particularly vulnerable due to the widespread use of such automation tools in the region's advanced manufacturing sectors.

1. Immediately restrict local access to systems running ASDA-Soft to trusted personnel only, enforcing strict user authentication and authorization controls. 2. Implement application whitelisting and endpoint protection solutions to detect and prevent exploitation attempts. 3. Monitor user activity and system logs for unusual behavior indicative of exploitation attempts or buffer overflow triggers. 4. Coordinate with Delta Electronics for timely release and deployment of security patches; prioritize patch management once updates become available. 5. Conduct security awareness training emphasizing the risks of executing untrusted actions or files that could trigger the vulnerability. 6. Employ network segmentation to isolate critical industrial control systems from general IT networks, limiting the potential attack surface. 7. Utilize intrusion detection/prevention systems tailored for industrial environments to detect anomalous activities. 8. Regularly back up critical system configurations and data to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise.
