A critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-11243, has been identified in the Shelly Pro 4PM smart DIN rail switch, affecting versions prior to v1.6. The flaw is due to insufficient input bounds checking, allowing an attacker to send specially crafted requests to any RPC endpoint, which causes the device's JSON parser to overallocate memory. This results in the device rebooting and creates a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, potentially disrupting operations in environments where these devices are deployed. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v4 score of 8.3, indicating high severity, and was reported by Gabriele Quagliarella of Nozomi Networks.
Shelly has not responded to coordination attempts from CISA, and users are advised to update their devices to versions later than 1.6.0 to mitigate the risk. The affected product is widely deployed in critical manufacturing sectors globally, and exploitation does not require remote access, as the vulnerability is not remotely exploitable. Organizations using Shelly Pro 4PM devices should ensure prompt patching and monitor for abnormal device reboots or service interruptions that could indicate exploitation attempts.
