Summary

CVE-2025-11779 is a critical-severity Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121) vulnerability in Circutor Sge-Plc1000 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.4 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked in the top 30% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2025-11779 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-121) in Circutor SGE-PLC1000 and SGE-PLC50 devices running version 9.0.2. The issue affects the 'SetLan' function, which is invoked during the application of new configurations triggered by management web requests to the 'index.cgi' web application. Parameters passed to this function are not sanitized, which could enable command injection.

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating it is exploitable remotely over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction required. An attacker could send a crafted request to the 'index.cgi' endpoint to trigger the vulnerable 'SetLan' function, resulting in stack buffer overflow and potential arbitrary command execution, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability with high impact.

Mitigation details are available in the INCIBE-CERT advisory on multiple vulnerabilities in Circutor products, accessible at https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso-sci/multiple-vulnerabilities-circutor-products-0.
