2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in execution of arbitrary code.
3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following versions of Delta Electronics DIAScreen visualization software are affected: DIAScreen: Versions prior to 1.4.2 3.2 Vulnerability Overview 3.2.1 STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-121 A crafted DPA file could force Delta Electronics DIAScreen to overflow a stack-based buffer, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2024-7502 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-7502. A base score of 8.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). 3.3 BACKGROUND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Energy COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Taiwan 3.4 RESEARCHER Natnael Samson (@NattiSamson) working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative reported this vulnerability to CISA.
4. MITIGATIONS Delta Electronics has released v1.4.2 of DIAScreen and recommends users install this update on all affected systems. CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability, such as: Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. No known public exploitation specifically targeting this vulnerability has been reported to CISA at this time. This vulnerability is not exploitable remotely.
