Who should care

OT/ICS defenders, plant engineers, and software maintainers responsible for Festo Automation Suite deployments that include CODESYS components, especially any environment running CODESYS V2 Web-Server instances.

Technical summary

The source advisory states that CODESYS V2 Web-Server before 1.1.9.20 has improper access control. CISA’s republished guidance ties the issue to Festo Automation Suite configurations that bundled CODESYS components, and notes that starting with Festo Automation Suite 2.8.0.138, CODESYS is no longer bundled and must be obtained separately. The supplied CVSS vector is network-accessible, requires no privileges or user interaction, and rates confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as high.

Defensive priority

Immediate patching and exposure review are warranted given the critical 9.8 severity and the source’s network/no-auth CVSS profile.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Install the latest patched CODESYS release from the official CODESYS website.
  • Follow the vendor installation and update instructions so all security fixes are applied.
  • Update the Festo Automation Suite connector to the latest available version.
  • Review deployments for any CODESYS V2 Web-Server instances running before 1.1.9.20 and prioritize remediation.
  • Monitor the CODESYS and Festo security advisories for follow-on updates.

Evidence notes

The supplied source item is CISA advisory ICSA-26-076-01, published 2026-02-26 and republished/modified 2026-03-17, with the advisory text: "CODESYS V2 Web-Server before 1.1.9.20 has Improper Access Control." The remediation section explicitly says that from Festo Automation Suite 2.8.0.138 onward, CODESYS is no longer bundled and must be downloaded separately, and recommends installing the latest patched CODESYS release. Vendor mapping in the prompt is marked low confidence and needs review, so this debrief treats Festo as advisory context rather than a confirmed standalone product attribution.
