Descriptions

Cscape, Version 9.80.75.3 SP3 and prior. An improper input validation vulnerability has been identified that may be exploited by processing specially crafted POC files lacking user input validation. This may allow an attacker to read confidential information and remotely execute arbitrary code.

Cscape, en versiones 9.80.75.3 SP3 y anteriores. Se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad de validación de entradas incorrecta que podría ser explotada mediante el procesamiento de archivos POC que carecen de validación de entradas de usuario. Esto podría permitir que un atacante lea información confidencial y ejecute código arbitrario de forma remota.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Horner Automation Cscape. 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 CSP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
