About this tag
CVE-2026-15688 is a Mitsubishi Electric GX Works3 security issue covered on WindowsForum.com, where the focus is on engineering workstations rather than general Windows patching. The flaw allows a local attacker who can run the engineering software to alter part of its executable code in memory, authenticate with an invalid Block Password, and then view, change, destroy, or delete control programs.

CISA published its advisory on September 17, alongside Mitsubishi Electric's PSIRT bulletin.
