- The 3 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
CISA published an ICS advisory detailing three denial-of-service vulnerabilities affecting Rockwell Automation's CompactLogix, ControlLogix, Compact GuardLogix, and GuardLogix programmable logic controller families, widely deployed in critical manufacturing environments worldwide. All three issues stem from classic buffer overflow conditions (CWE-120) that could allow a remote or malicious user to load an invalid project or write invalid file data to the controller, driving the device into a major non-recoverable fault (MNRF) requiring manual recovery.
CVE-2025-12011 affects 5370/5570 series controllers via invalid project loading, while CVE-2025-12012 and CVE-2025-11698 affect 5380/5480/5580 series controllers and their boot firmware through invalid file data writes. The vulnerabilities span numerous product lines and firmware versions, including recovery images. Rockwell Automation, which reported the issues to CISA itself, has released updated firmware versions across all affected product lines to remediate the flaws.
CISA states no known public exploitation has been reported at this time. The agency recommends standard ICS hardening practices — isolating control system networks from business networks and the internet, using VPNs for remote access, and applying vendor patches — while emphasizing these are proactive fixes rather than a response to active attacks.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
