CVE-2026-54410 (GCVE-0-2026-54410)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-14 17:10 – Updated: 2026-06-14 17:10

Summary
nanoMODBUS through v1.23.0 contains an off-by-one buffer overflow in the recv_msg_header() function of the Modbus/TCP server that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to write one attacker-controlled byte past the end of the 260-byte receive buffer by sending a crafted MBAP frame whose Length field is set to 255. The overflow corrupts the adjacent buffer-index field of the nanoMODBUS state structure, resulting in denial of service through invalid memory accesses and, on bare-metal and RTOS targets without memory protection, one-byte information disclosure and writes to unintended register addresses on the Write Multiple Registers (FC16) handler path.

This yields denial of service (subsequent handler calls treat the corrupted buf_idx as a register count / offset and crash, hang, or return invalid data), one-byte information disclosure on bare-metal and RTOS targets without memory protection (ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, STM32 class), and the possibility of writing to unintended register addresses on the FC16 (Write Multiple Registers) handler path. No authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration are required."

The vulnerable bounds check was verified by source inspection of v1.22.0, v1.22.1, and v1.23.0 (latest at publish time) - the issue is present in all three; affected range is therefore 0 through v1.23.0 (inclusive) with defaultStatus \u0027unknown\u0027 pending vendor confirmation of a fixed release. CVSS scoring follows the submitter\u0027s CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H = 8.6) and translates to 4.0 with VC:L/VI:L/VA:H, SC/SI/SA:N (= 8.7) and 2.0 with C:P/I:P/A:C (= 9.0).",
