Mitsubishi Electric GX Works3 and Motion Control Settings

Mitsubishi Electric released a security advisory for CVE-2026-15688, an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting GX Works3 and Motion Control Settings across all versions. A local attacker with low privileges can exploit incorrect authentication implementation to bypass the block password, modify executable modules in memory, and alter, delete, or view control programs. Mitsubishi Electric provides patched versions (GX Works3 1.096A or later, Motion Control Settings 1.070Y or later) and recommends network isolation, firewall protection, and restricting physical access to mitigate risk.

Why it matters: Manufacturing and critical infrastructure organizations using Mitsubishi Electric control system software must patch or isolate these systems immediately, as local attackers can bypass authentication and modify production control logic without valid credentials.
