The vulnerability of microprogrammed software in programmable logic controllers such as ControlLogix 5580, GuardLogix 5580, CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, and Compact GuardLogix 5380 lies in improper code generation. This allows attackers to implant code into the controller that the user will be unable to detect.
