Una explotación con éxito de esta vulnerabilidad puede permitir a un atacante leer y modificar información, ejecutar código arbitrario y/o bloquear la aplicación

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Delta Industrial Automation TPEditor. 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 TPE files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write-what-where condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
