About Mitsubishielectric Melsec Iq-F Fx5-Eip Firmware
CVE-2026-1875 affects Mitsubishielectric Melsec Iq-F Fx5-Eip Firmware, a product from Mitsubishielectric. Before acting, confirm where Mitsubishielectric Melsec Iq-F Fx5-Eip Firmware runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.
What the flaw is
In plain terms: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation MELSEC iQ-F Series FX5-EIP EtherNet/IP Module FX5-EIP versions 1.000 and prior allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the products by continuously sending UDP packets to the products. A system reset of the product is required for recovery.
