## What is CVE-2025-11786?

CVE-2025-11786 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in SGE-PLC1000 SGE-PLC50 Circutor, published on 2 Dec 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Circutor SGE-PLC1000/SGE-PLC50 v9.0.2.
