CVE-2026-0646 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Rockwell Automation FLEX I/O dual-port EtherNet/IP adapters, specifically models 1794-AENTR and 1794-AENTRXT running affected firmware such as version 2.012. The issue is caused by improper memory handling of CIP protocol requests, and the available references map it to CWE-401 (missing release of memory after effective lifetime). A remote attacker can send crafted CIP requests to the adapter and trigger a fault condition in the device. When triggered, the adapter loses connection to its associated I/O modules and does not automatically recover, requiring a manual reset to restore operation.
