About this tag
The MELSEC iQ-F tag on WindowsForum.com covers security vulnerabilities and mitigation guidance for Mitsubishi Electric's MELSEC iQ-F Series programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and related modules. Discussions focus on high-impact flaws such as denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerabilities in EtherNet/IP and Ethernet modules, cleartext credential exposure over SLMP (CVE-2025-7731), unauthenticated Modbus/TCP access (CVE-2025-7405), and OPC-related issues (CVE-2024-0727). Content includes CISA advisories, vendor disclosures, and practical steps for Windows-based IT/OT teams to harden networks, apply patches, and reduce risk. Recurring themes include remote exploitation, lack of authentication, and the need for immediate operational attention in industrial environments.
