Last modified

CVE-2026-71255 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.6/10 on the CVSS scale. nanoMODBUS through v1.23.0 contains an out-of-bounds write in the Modbus client-side recv_read_device_identification_res function (FC 0x2B/MEI 0x0E, Read Device Identification) in nanomodbus.c. The server-supplied object_length field (0-246) is validated only against the remaining PDU size (res_size_left) and is never validated against the caller-supplied buffers_length parameter.. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
