IE-SW-VL05M-5TX: Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2025-41650 is a high-severity improper validation of specified type of input vulnerability in IE-SW-VL05M-5TX from Weidmueller, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 3.6.32 as the first without the flaw, so updating IE-SW-VL05M-5TX to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.52% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
