User InteractionRequired
Summary

RoboDK v5.5.4 (Windows 64-bit) contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-122) that could allow an attacker to crash the program through a local attack vector requiring user interaction.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker could crash the RoboDK application, disrupting robot programming and simulation work, though no remote or immediate production impact is expected.
Who's at risk
Robot programming engineers and automation technicians who use RoboDK for offline programming and simulation on Windows workstations. Affects organizations that rely on RoboDK for robot design and testing workflows.
How it could be exploited
An attacker would need local access to the RoboDK workstation and trick a user into opening a malicious file or input. The buffer overflow in memory handling could then crash the application.
Prerequisites
  • Local access to the RoboDK workstation
  • User interaction required (opening a file or accepting input)
  • RoboDK v5.5.4 (Windows 64-bit) installed
