CVE-2025-11482: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the OPC-UA Server
An Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in the OPC-UA Server used in PPT30
Operating System versions before 1.8.0 may be used by an unauthenticated network-based attacker to
permanently prevent legitimate users from interacting with the service.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This flaw can let an unauthenticated network attacker exhaust the OPC-UA Server in B&R PPT30 Operating System versions before 1.8.0. The business impact is service availability: legitimate users may be permanently unable to interact with the service until recovery action is taken.
Executive priority
Treat this as a high-priority OT availability risk. Prioritize exposed or production-critical PPT30 systems, especially where OPC-UA access crosses trust boundaries or supports operational workflows.
Technical view
CVE-2025-11482 is a CWE-770 resource-allocation issue in the PPT30 OPC-UA Server. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.7, driven by network reachability, low attack complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and high vulnerable-system availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely in OT or industrial environments running B&R PPT30 Operating System before 1.8.0 with the OPC-UA Server reachable from untrusted or poorly segmented networks.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources do not cite active exploitation, public exploit code, or CISA KEV listing. Risk remains high because the issue is unauthenticated, network-based, low-complexity, and targets service availability.
Researcher notes
The evidence supports a resource exhaustion denial-of-service condition, not confidentiality or integrity compromise. Affected scope is PPT30 Operating System before 1.8.0. The bundle does not provide exploit details, recovery steps, or broader product impact.
Mitigation direction
Identify PPT30 assets and confirm operating system versions.
Prioritize upgrade planning for PPT30 Operating System 1.8.0 or later where applicable.
Restrict OPC-UA Server exposure to trusted management and industrial network segments.
Review B&R advisory SA25P006 for vendor-specific remediation and recovery guidance.
Validation and detection
Inventory PPT30 systems and record OS version and OPC-UA Server exposure.
Confirm no affected OPC-UA service is reachable from untrusted networks.
Validate segmentation rules around industrial control and management networks.
Check monitoring for repeated connection or resource exhaustion symptoms.

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.
