Summary
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to remotely issue commands, modify operational values, interfere with control logic, and alter device behavior without authentication or privilege enforcement.
The following versions of Delta Electronics DVP12SE PLC are affected:
- DVP12SE PLC vers:all/* (CVE-2026-12819, CVE-2026-12818)
| CVSS | Vendor | Equipment | Vulnerabilities |
|---|---|---|---|
| v3 9.8 | Delta Electronics | Delta Electronics DVP12SE PLC | Missing Authentication for Critical Function, Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling |
Background
- Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Critical Manufacturing
- Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide
- Company Headquarters Location: Taiwan
Vulnerabilities
CVE-2026-12819
The Delta Electronics DVP12SE PLC exposes a Modbus TCP service over a specified port without authentication or access control, permitting unauthenticated interaction with security-sensitive PLC functions. The device accepts Modbus commands from any reachable network source without requiring credentials, privilege validation, or operator approval, allowing unauthorized read and write access to coils, holding registers, operational memory, relay states, and process control functions.

Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities.
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. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks:
Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages.
