Descriptions

A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability exists in NI DAQExpress that may result in remote code execution. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to get a user to open a specially crafted project file. This vulnerability affects DAQExpress 5.1 and prior versions. Please note that DAQExpress is an EOL product and will not receive any updates.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NI DAQExpress. 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 LVPROJECT files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
