Descriptions

In CX-One Versions 4.42 and prior (CX-Programmer Versions 9.66 and prior and CX-Server Versions 5.0.23 and prior), when processing project files, the application fails to check if it is referencing freed memory. An attacker could use a specially crafted project file to exploit and execute code under the privileges of the application.

En CX-One, en versiones 4.42 y anteriores (CX-Programmer en versiones 9.66 y anteriores y CX-Server en versiones 5.0.23 y anteriores), al procesar archivos de proyecto, la aplicación no comprueba si se está referenciando memoria liberada. Un atacante podría emplear un archivo de proyecto manipulado para explotar y ejecutar código con los privilegios de la aplicación.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of OMRON CX-One CX-Programmer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
