- Company Headquarters Location: Japan, United States
Vulnerabilities
CVE-2025-11774
Malicious code execution vulnerability exists in the software keyboard function (hereinafter referred to as “keypad function”) of ICONICS Suite, GENESIS64, MobileHMI, and MC Works64, which could lead to denial-of-service (DoS), information tampering, and information disclosure. An attacker may be able to execute arbitrary executable files (EXE) when a legitimate user uses the keypad function by tampering with the configuration file for the keypad function. This could allow the attacker to disclose, tamper with, delete, or destroy information stored on the PC where the affected produc is installed, or cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the system, through the execution of the EXE.

Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability, such as:
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the Internet.
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.
When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics.
