Descriptions

In Horner Automation Cscape 9.90 and prior, improper validation of data may cause the system to write outside the intended buffer area, which may allow arbitrary code execution.

En Horner Automation Cscape versión 9.90 y anteriores, la comprobación inapropiada de datos puede causar que el sistema escriba fuera del área de búfer prevista, lo que puede permitir una ejecución de código arbitraria.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected 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 processing of CSP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
