Researchers Use Claude to Port Pre-Auth RCE Exploit From One PLC Model to Another
Forescout Research's Vedere Labs demonstrated using Claude to adapt a pre-authentication remote code execution exploit across different WAGO programmable logic controller models and execute arbitrary code on physical hardware. The work leveraged CVE-2021-31886, a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Nucleus FTP server's USER command handler.
Why it matters: Organizations operating WAGO PLCs need to assess exposure to CVE-2021-31886 and evaluate whether Claude or similar artificial intelligence (AI) tools could enable attackers to port exploits across their industrial control system (ICS) infrastructure without authentication.
