CVE-2026-110021
Missing GSDX SignatureValue verification
PLCnext Engineer checks GSDX manifest reference digests but does not cryptographically verify the XML SignatureValue over canonicalized SignedInfo. An unauthenticated local attacker can modify signed GSDML content, update its manifest digest, retain the public certificate data, and leave an invalid nonempty SignatureValue. PLCnext Engineer prior to 2026.6 reports the package as Valid and selects the modified device description for import under the default policy.
