Last modified

CVE-2026-110021 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.2/10 on the CVSS scale. PLCnext Engineer checks GSDX manifest reference digests but does not cryptographically verify the XML `SignatureValue` over canonicalized `SignedInfo`. An unauthenticated local attacker can modify signed GSDML content, update its manifest digest, retain the public certificate data, and leave an invalid nonempty `SignatureValue`. EPSS estimates a 0.06% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
