The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SC-5 (Denial-of-service Protection) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-23417 is a denial of service vulnerability in the Modbus RTU over TCP functionality of Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 version 1.6.9. A specially crafted network packet can lead to a denial of service condition, as documented under CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). The vulnerability was published on 2025-12-01 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating high severity primarily due to availability impact.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted packet to the affected device over the network. No privileges, user interaction, or special access are required, and the attack has low complexity. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service, with the changed scope (S:C) potentially amplifying the impact beyond the vulnerable component.
