# CVE-2026-63587: SMS Password Authorization Bypass via Failed Attempt Counter

- Severity: CVSS 8.8 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.74
- Published: 2026-08-25 · Updated: 2026-08-27

## Affected

- Weidmueller Interface IE-SR-2TX-WL-4G-EU: from 1.67, fixed in 1.74
- Weidmueller Interface IE-SR-2TX-WL-4G-US-V: from 1.67, fixed in 1.74

## Description

The SMS control function of IE-SR-2TX-WL-4G devices can require a password for SMS commands via the 'Enable Password Authorization' setting. The device increments a retry counter on each failed SMS password attempt; after 5 consecutive failed attempts, SMS password authorization is automatically disabled. An unauthenticated remote attacker who is able to send SMS messages to the device can deliberately trigger this by submitting 5 or more invalid passwords, after which subsequent SMS commands are executed without requiring a password, resulting in potential limited configuration tampering, limited information leakage and potentially full loss of availability.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Weidmueller Interface IE-SR-2TX-WL-4G-EU, Weidmueller Interface IE-SR-2TX-WL-4G-US-V, upgrade to a fixed version (1.74) per the references below.
