Descriptions

LCDS Laquis SCADA prior to version 4.1.0.4150 allows improper control of generation of code when opening a specially crafted project file, which may allow remote code execution, data exfiltration, or cause a system crash.

LCDS Laquis SCADA, en versiones anteriores a la 4.1.0.4150, permite el control incorrecto de la generación de código a la hora de abrir un archivo de proyecto especialmente manipulado, lo que podría permitir la ejecución remota de código, la exfiltración de datos o el cierre inesperado del sistema.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of LAquis SCADA Software. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of LQS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a controlled call to VirtualProtect. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the aq process.
