PHOENIX CONTACT — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 169

Browse all 169 CVE security advisories affecting PHOENIX CONTACT. AI-powered Chinese analysis, POCs, and references for each vulnerability.

PHOENIX CONTACT specializes in industrial automation, electrical engineering, and electronics, providing critical infrastructure components such as programmable logic controllers, power supplies, and industrial networking devices. With 142 recorded CVEs, the company’s software ecosystem has historically been susceptible to remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation vulnerabilities. These flaws often stem from inadequate input validation in web-based management interfaces or insecure default configurations in embedded systems. Notable incidents include exploitable authentication bypasses and buffer overflow errors that could allow attackers to gain unauthorized control over industrial control systems. The high volume of vulnerabilities suggests persistent challenges in securing legacy firmware and web applications. While the hardware itself is robust, the associated software layers require rigorous patching and secure coding practices to mitigate risks in operational technology environments.
