Pilz Security Advisories – In the Established CSAF Format
March 17, 2026
In an increasingly digitalized world, the number of security-related vulnerabilities is constantly increasing. In particular, security gaps in software cannot be 100 % prevented. As such it is more important than ever to provide security-critical information quickly, reliably and in an internationally machine-readable format, so that vulnerabilities can be addressed using recommended actions.
For this reason, at Pilz they now create their Security Advisories in CSAF format, among others. This means they can be used efficiently worldwide, and their customers can integrate them automatically into their own security processes. This enables Pilz and their customers to improve vulnerability management and, in particular, to significantly reduce the time between a vulnerability being disclosed and the response to it.
What is CSAF?
The Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) is an international standard used to distribute information about public vulnerability reports and potential measures in a machine-readable, standardized format. The structured Security Advisories it generates make it much easier for companies to handle security-related information. CSAF enables Security Advisories to be collected and analyzed automatically. This eliminates much of the manual effort that would otherwise be involved in searching for vulnerabilities or assessing impact. As CSAF is recognized and standardized worldwide, these advisories can be read and processed automatically without problem, regardless of the systems, countries or tools that are used.
Good to know:
Pilz creates their Security Advisories not only in CSAF, but also in their own Security Advisory format, which they always make available on their website as a PDF.
