What is CVE-2025-41665?

A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit a vulnerability in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) by manipulating the default permissions of a configuration file. This allows the attacker to trigger a watchdog mechanism, causing the PLCs to reboot unexpectedly. Such behavior could impact operational continuity and lead to potential disruptions in automated systems.
