Summary
Multiple buffer overflow and memory corruption vulnerabilities in Horner Automation Cscape and Cscape EnvisionRV software. These vulnerabilities (CWE-121, CWE-125, CWE-416, CWE-824, CWE-787) allow an attacker to disclose information and execute arbitrary code.
What this means
What could happen
An attacker with local access to a machine running Cscape or EnvisionRV could execute arbitrary code to modify control logic, alter process parameters, or crash the engineering workstation, disrupting system development and monitoring.
Who's at risk
Organizations using Horner Automation Cscape or EnvisionRV for automation programming and monitoring. This affects engineering workstations and development environments in manufacturing, water/wastewater, and electric utility control systems.
How it could be exploited
An attacker must have local access to a machine running vulnerable Cscape or EnvisionRV software. Exploitation likely involves opening a malicious file or project that triggers a buffer overflow in the application, allowing code execution with the privileges of the user running the software.
Prerequisites
- Local access to Cscape or EnvisionRV machine
- User interaction to open malicious file or project
- Cscape v9.90 SP8 or earlier, or EnvisionRV v4.70 or earlier
