RunSafe Security Comments On A New CISA Advisory

The CISA’s latest advisory (issued on Tuesday) underscores a persistent challenge across industrial and critical manufacturing sectors: software vulnerabilities that open the door to potential code execution — even when the risk appears to be local or limited in scope.

Commenting on this is Joe Saunders, Founder & CEO, RunSafe Security

On ICSA-25-308-01 – Fuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT-6

“While the Fuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT-6 vulnerabilities may not be remotely exploitable, the underlying pattern is familiar — buffer overflows in configuration tools or project files that can be weaponized as part of a supply chain or lateral movement strategy. These flaws highlight why protecting binaries before deployment is essential to breaking exploit chains.”

“RunSafe’s approach focuses on preemptive binary protection, eliminating exploit reuse and mitigating memory corruption risks like those identified here — without requiring source code changes or developer intervention. As these advisories remind us, defense-in-depth must now include securing the software itself at its most fundamental level.” 

On ICSA-25-308-03 Delta Electronics CNCSoft-G2

“The recently disclosed vulnerability in Delta Electronics’ CNCSoft-G2 software is another reminder that even trusted engineering and configuration tools can become points of entry for cyber threats. In this case, a simple stack-based buffer overflow — with low attack complexity — could allow arbitrary code execution once a malicious file is opened.”

“Although this vulnerability is not remotely exploitable, it highlights a recurring and systemic issue across industrial control software: unprotected binaries that remain vulnerable to memory corruption and exploit reuse. These weaknesses can be leveraged in multi-stage or supply chain attacks to move deeper into critical systems.”

“RunSafe Security focuses on eliminating these risks before they can be exploited — by protecting binaries at build time and making every software instance unique. This approach prevents attackers from reusing exploits or achieving code execution, even when a vulnerability exists. As this and similar advisories show, securing software at the binary level must now be part of every defense-in-depth strategy.”
