Experiment shows adapting remote code execution exploit across WAGO PLC models.
Forescout researchers used Claude AI to port a remote code execution exploit between WAGO PLC models. The experiment shows that AI tools can adapt an existing PLC exploit to new targets in just hours at a cost of a few hundred dollars. The process relies on large language models to assist with the porting task. SecurityWeek covered the findings from the researchers work on industrial control systems. This approach was tested specifically on different models from the same vendor. The headline from the report emphasizes the speed and low cost involved in using AI for such tasks in cybersecurity research.
