An Information Exposure issue was discovered in Moxa NPort 5110 Version 2.2, NPort 5110 Version 2.4, NPort 5110 Version 2.6, NPort 5110 Version 2.7, NPort 5130 Version 3.7 and prior, and NPort 5150 Version 3.7 and prior. An attacker may be able to exploit a flaw in the handling of Ethernet frame padding that may allow for information exposure.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects certain Moxa NPort serial device servers. A network attacker may be able to obtain unintended information because the device mishandles Ethernet frame padding. The listed CVSS score is high, and the issue matters most where these devices bridge industrial serial equipment onto IP networks. Exposure is likely limited to environments running the affected Moxa NPort 5110 versions 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, or 2.7, or NPort 5130/5150 version 3.7 and prior. Risk is higher if these devices are reachable from untrusted networks or flat OT networks. Treat as a high-priority OT exposure review if affected Moxa NPort devices are in production. The main business risk is unintended information leakage from infrastructure that may connect legacy serial equipment to IP networks. Prioritize inventory, network restriction, and vendor-guided remediation. Mitigation focus: Inventory Moxa NPort 5110, 5130, and 5150 devices and firmware versions.; Check the ICS-CERT advisory and Moxa guidance for vendor-approved updates or mitigations.; Remove affected devices from direct internet exposure..
