Severity
Summary
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R series CPU modules (R00/01/02CPU all versions, R04/08/16/32/120(EN)CPU all versions, R08/16/32/120SFCPU all versions, R08/16/32/120PCPU all versions, R08/16/32/120PSFCPU all versions) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to prevent legitimate clients from connecting to the MELSOFT transmission port (TCP/IP) by not closing a connection properly, which may lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
