Industrial control system (ICS) vulnerability reporting hit record levels in 2025, with 508 ICS advisories covering 2,155 CVEs and an increasing average severity (CVSS averages exceeding 8.0 in 2024–2025), according to a Forescout report. The report highlights that Purdue Level 1 devices (e.g., PLCs/RTUs/IEDs) were most affected, followed by Level 3 operational systems and Level 2 control systems, with critical manufacturing and energy most impacted. It also flags a growing visibility gap as an increasing number of ICS vulnerabilities lack associated CISA ICSA publications, including changes in how some vendor advisories (e.g., Siemens) are routed.
CISA published an ICS advisory for Valmet DNA Engineering Web Tools (<= C2022) describing CVE-2025-15577, a high-severity path traversal issue (CVSS 3.1 8.6) that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to manipulate a web maintenance services URL to achieve arbitrary file read. Separately, CISA also warned (as reported by BleepingComputer) of a critical authentication flaw in multiple Honeywell CCTV products, CVE-2026-1670 (CVSS 9.8), where an exposed unauthenticated API endpoint could let an attacker change the “forgot password” recovery email and potentially enable account takeover and unauthorized camera feed access; CISA reported no known public exploitation at the time and reiterated standard ICS/OT hardening guidance (reduce exposure, segment networks, and secure remote access).

Forescout reported that ICS security advisories surpassed 500 in 2025 for the first time, with 2,155 CVEs across 508 advisories and average severity continuing to rise. The report also highlighted reduced visibility from fewer CISA-linked advisories and called for stronger vendor accountability and patch transparency.
CISA released advisory ICSA-26-050-02 for Valmet DNA Engineering Web Tools, disclosing CVE-2025-15577, a high-severity path traversal flaw that can allow unauthenticated arbitrary file read. The advisory credited Denis Samotuga for reporting the issue to Valmet and stated there was no known public exploitation at publication.
CISA issued an advisory for CVE-2026-1670 affecting multiple Honeywell CCTV models, warning that unauthenticated attackers could access camera feeds and hijack accounts. CISA said that as of February 17, 2026, there were no known public exploitation reports and recommended patching, network isolation, and secure remote access.
Researcher Souvik Kanda discovered and reported a critical Honeywell CCTV vulnerability, later assigned CVE-2026-1670. The flaw is a missing authentication issue in an exposed API endpoint that can let remote attackers change password recovery email settings and take over accounts.
