> Input validation flaw in Schneider Modicon M340 communication modules allows unauthenticated denial of service via crafted FTP commands.

Schneider Electric has disclosed CVE-2025-6625, an improper input validation vulnerability (CWE-20) in the Modicon M340 programmable automation controller and multiple associated Ethernet communication modules. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger a denial of service by sending a specially crafted FTP command to affected devices, rendering them unavailable. The vulnerability affects the base Modicon M340 controller, M580 Global Data module, X80 Ethernet Communication modules, and Modbus/TCP Ethernet modules in versions prior to 3.60 (BMXNOE0100) and 6.80 (BMXNOE0110). Schneider has released firmware patches for identified product lines; however, several device types remain under remediation planning with no fix yet available.

No evidence of active exploitation in the wild is reported. FTP service is disabled by default on affected devices, significantly limiting attack surface. Organizations unable to immediately patch should disable FTP entirely, implement network segmentation to block unauthorized access to port 21, and restrict device access to trusted networks via firewall rules or VPN tunnels. Reboot is required to complete firmware upgrades when patches are deployed.
