Descriptions

Inductive Automation Ignition getJavaExecutable Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Inductive Automation Ignition. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must connect to a malicious server.

The specific flaw exists within the getJavaExecutable method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-CAN-22029.

Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código Directory Traversal getJavaExecutable de encendido de automatización inductiva. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en las instalaciones afectadas de Inductive Automation Ignition. Se requiere la interacción del usuario para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe conectarse a un servidor malicioso. La falla específica existe dentro del método getJavaExecutable. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de una ruta proporcionada por el usuario antes de usarla en operaciones de archivos. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del usuario actual. Era ZDI-CAN-22029.
