Descriptions

Opening a maliciously crafted project file may cause an out-of-bounds write, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. User interaction is require on the WebAccess HMI Designer (versions 2.1.9.95 and prior).

Abriendo un archivo de proyecto diseñado maliciosamente puede causar una escritura fuera de límites, que puede permitir a un atacante ejecutar código arbitrario. Es requerida una interacción del usuario en el WebAccess HMI Designer (versiones 2.1.9.95 y anteriores)

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Advantech WebAccess/HMI Designer. 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 PM3 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 buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
