CVE-2017-6030
Schneider Electric Modicon PLCs Predictable Value Range from Previous Values
02 Description
Schneider Electric Modicon PLCs Predictable Value Range from Previous Values
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 2.18% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 82.2% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 6.5 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L
- NVD analysis status
- Modified. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-17.
- Red Hat severity
- No Red Hat rating. Red Hat rates the CVEs that affect its products.
Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.

07 Remediation
Schneider Electric has released new firmware versions to address the predictable value range from previous values vulnerability and the use of insufficiently random values vulnerability, which are available through Schneider Electric’s software update tool, SoMachine, Version 4.2, and SoMachineBasic, Version 1.5. Schneider Electric has not released a product to address the insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability; however, Schneider Electric has provided compensating controls to reduce the risk of exploitation. SoMachineBasic, Version 1.5, is available at the following location: http://www.schneider-electric.fr/fr/download/document/SOMBASAP15SOFT/ Schneider Electric has provided the following compensating controls to reduce the risk of exploitation of the insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability: * Verify that the hardware and software infrastructure that the PLCs are integrated into (along with all organizational measures and rules covering access to the infrastructure) consider the results of the hazard and risk analysis, and are implemented according to best practices and standards such as ISA/IEC 62443. * Limit traffic on the local network with managed switches * Where possible, avoid using Wi-Fi networks, but when Wi-Fi is essential, use only secure communications (such as WPA2 encryption) * Do not grant [network] access to unknown computers * When remote access is essential, use secure methods such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and ensure
