How RunSafe Protects VxWorks Systems from URGENT/11 Exploits

In this demo, we’re going to walk through how an URGENT/11 vulnerability can be exploited in a VxWorks-based drone system—and then show how enabling RunSafe Protect completely disrupts the attack.

Preventing URGENT/11 Exploits in VxWorks with RunSafe Protect

Stopping URGENT/11 Attacks with RunSafe Protect

In this demo, we show how RunSafe Protect defends VxWorks-based embedded systems from URGENT/11 memory safety exploits. You’ll see a vulnerable system challenged by a simulated attack and then observe how RunSafe’s protections—like memory randomization and moving target defense—disrupt the exploit and prevent attackers from taking control.

This demo highlights how RunSafe strengthens embedded software, mitigates known and future vulnerabilities, and ensures critical systems remain secure without altering functionality or slowing development.
