Descriptions

LCDS LAquis SCADA Versions 4.3.1 and prior. The affected product is vulnerable to sensitive information exposure by unauthorized users.

LCDS LAquis SCADA versiones 4.3.1 y anteriores. El producto afectado es vulnerable a una exposición de información confidencial por parte de usuarios no autorizados.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files on affected installations of LAquis SCADA. 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 handling of the TextFile.Append method when processing LGX files. When opening an LGX file, the user interface fails to warn the user of unsafe actions. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
