Pyramid Solutions NetStaX EtherNet/IP Stack

CISA flags critical CVE-2026-78012 (CVSS 9.8) stack buffer overflow in Pyramid Solutions NetStaX EtherNet/IP stacks below v5.6.1, risking crashes or remote attack vectors.

CISA republished Pyramid Solutions' advisory for CVE-2026-78012, a CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow in the NetStaX EtherNet/IP stack versions prior to 5.6.1, scored CVSS 9.8. Large Class 3 explicit-message requests can exceed the application-side receive buffer without generating a CIP error, potentially causing memory corruption, device crashes, or a silent remote attack vector. All eight adapter and scanner DLL/development kit variants, including CIP Security editions, are affected across critical manufacturing, energy, water, and chemical sectors. No public exploitation has been reported.
