Rockwell Automation CompactLogix 5380 ControlLogix 5580 / 1756

Rockwell Automation CompactLogix 5380 ControlLogix 5580 / 1756-EN4TR Communications Module Summary Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition. The following versions of Rockwell Automation CompactLogix 5380 ControlLogix 5580 / 1756-EN4TR Communications Module are affected: - ControlLogix 5580 >=V36|<=V37 (CVE-2026-9636) - CompactLogix 5380 >=V36|<=V37 (CVE-2026-9636) - GuardLogix 5580 >=V36|<=V37 (CVE-2026-9636) - Compact GuardLogix 5380 >=V36|<=V37 (CVE-2026-9636) - 1756-EN4TR V6.001 (CVE-2026-9636) - 1756-EN4TR V7.001 (CVE-2026-9636) | CVSS | Vendor | Equipment | Vulnerabilities | |---|---|---|---| | v3 5.9 | Rockwell Automation | Rockwell Automation CompactLogix 5380 ControlLogix 5580 / 1756-EN4TR Communications Module | Improper Check for Certificate Revocation | Background - Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Critical Manufacturing - Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide - Company Headquarters Location: United States Vulnerabilities CVE-2026-9636 A security issue exists within CompactLogix 5380, ControlLogix 5580, and EN4TR communication modules related to CIP Security certificate revocation handling. The security issue stems from the controller failing to properly reject certificates signed by an intermediate certificate that has been revoked via a Certificate Revocation List (CRL). This could allow a network-based attacker to establish a connection using a certificate that should be untrusted, potentially bypassing CIP Security protections.

Recommended Practices CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks: Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages. Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams. Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information on social engineering attacks. No known public exploitation specifically targeting this vulnerability has been reported to CISA at this time.
