Official Description

A vulnerability exists in the command handling of the IEC 61850 communication stack included in the product revisions listed as affected in this CVE. An attacker with access to IEC 61850 networks could exploit the vulnera bility by using a specially crafted 61850 packet, forcing the communication interfaces of the PM 877, CI850 and CI868 modules into fault mode or causing unavailability of the S+ Operations 61850 connectivity, resulting in a denial-of-service situation. 

The System 800xA IEC61850 Connect is not affected. Note: This vulnerability does not impact on the overall availability and functionality of the S+ Operations node, only the 61850 communication function.

   

This issue affects AC800M (System 800xA): from 6.0.0x through 6.0.0303.0, from 6.1.0x through 6.1.0031.0, from 6.1.1x through 6.1.1004.0, from 6.1.1x through 6.1.1202.0, from 6.2.0x through 6.2.0006.0; Symphony Plus SD Series: A_0, A_1, A_2.003, A_3.005, A_4.001, B_0.005; Symphony Plus MR (Melody Rack): from 3.10 through 3.52; S+ Operations: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.3.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-3756 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 6.5.

ABB System 800xA, Symphony Plus IEC 61850
CISA Alerts· Apr 30, 2026

View CSAF Summary This vulnerability was privately reported relating to ABB’s implementation of the IEC 61850 communication stack for MMS client applications used in some Automation control system products. Note: IEC 61850 communication typically supports MMS and GOOSE protocols. Some ABB products support both, others only MMS (e.g. S+ Operations and PM 877). In any case, GOOSE communication is not impacted by this reported vulnerability. If an attacker gains access to a site’s IEC 61850 network, then exploiting this vulnerability will result in a device fault (PM 877, CI850 and CI868 modules) and will require a manual restart. If this attack is directed at a S+ Operations node running IEC 61850 connectivity, this will result in a crash in the IEC 61 [xlite_meta score:70 src:CISA Alerts xlite_fp:acbd35c357fbc3d0c9094cba625d1555a9bb1e2aa66bdf32edc9d50ad8238671]
