CVE-2017-6030: Schneider Electric Modicon PLCs Predictable Value Range from Previous Values
A predictable value range from previous values issue was discovered in Schneider Electric Modicon PLCs Modicon M221, firmware versions prior to Version 1.5.0.0, Modicon M241, firmware versions prior to Version 4.0.5.11, and Modicon M251, firmware versions prior to Version 4.0.5.11. The affected products generate insufficiently random TCP initial sequence numbers that may allow an attacker to predict the numbers from previous values. This may allow an attacker to spoof or disrupt TCP connections.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This affects certain Schneider Electric Modicon PLC firmware versions that generated predictable TCP connection sequence numbers. An attacker with network access could potentially spoof or disrupt TCP connections to the controller. This is an industrial control systems issue with integrity and availability impact, not a data-theft vulnerability. Exposure is most likely in industrial environments using Schneider Electric Modicon M221, M241, or M251 PLCs on affected firmware. Risk increases where PLC management or operational networks are reachable by untrusted users or poorly segmented networks. Treat as a targeted industrial-network hardening item, not an internet-scale emergency based on available sources. Prioritize if affected PLCs support safety, production continuity, or critical processes, especially where segmentation is weak or remote access paths exist. Mitigation focus: Inventory Modicon M221, M241, and M251 PLC firmware versions.; Upgrade M221 firmware to 1.5.0.0 or later where applicable.; Upgrade M241 and M251 firmware to 4.0.5.11 or later where applicable..

Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Predictable Value Range from Previous Values
Predictable Value Range from Previous Values represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
