Soft Comfort versions prior to V9 are vulnerable to local exploitation due to insecure cryptographic implementations. The software utilizes a hardcoded, static AES master key for project file encryption, which can be extracted by an attacker with local access. Furthermore, the application stores project passwords using unsalted SHA-256 hashes, rendering the authentication mechanism susceptible to offline dictionary or brute-force attacks.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-57262 and CVE-2026-57263) allow an attacker to bypass file encryption or recover administrative passwords. Successful exploitation permits unauthorized access to, or modification of, sensitive industrial project logic and PLC configurations. Impact is primarily realized in environments where attackers can gain local file system access. Siemens recommends upgrading to version V9 or later, accompanied by a hardware upgrade to the LOGO! V9 base module to ensure full remediation and avoid compatibility modes that retain the vulnerabilities.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows unauthorized parties to compromise the confidentiality and integrity of industrial control project files.
