Sentio Creator Extension 'Device Manager': Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
CVE-2026-80469 is a high-severity improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in Sentio Creator Extension 'Device Manager' from SICK, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected Sentio Creator Extension 'Device Manager' versions: 1.4 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of Sentio Creator Extension 'Device Manager' you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Read the advisory on sick.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
