- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v3 7.8 ATTENTION: Low attack complexity Vendor: Horner Automation Equipment: Cscape, Cscape EnvisionRV Vulnerabilities: Stack-based Buffer Overflow, Out-of-bounds Read, Use After Free, Access of Uninitialized Pointer, Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
- RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to disclose information and to execute arbitrary code.
- TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following versions of Horner Automation’s Cscape are affected: Cscape: v9.90 SP8 Cscape EnvisionRV: v4.70 3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW 3.2.1 STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-121 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g., CSP). This could lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-29503 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.2 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g., CSP). This could lead to an out-of-bounds read in the FontManager. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-32281 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.3 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g…, CSP). This could lead to an out-of-bounds read in IO_CFG. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-32289 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.4 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g., CSP). This could lead to an out-of-bounds read in Cscape!CANPortMigration. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-32545 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.5 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing font files (e.g., FNT). This could lead to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to potentially execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-27916 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.6 USE AFTER FREE CWE-416 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g., CSP). This could lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-28653 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.7 ACCESS OF UNINITIALIZED POINTER CWE-824 The affected product does not properly validate user-supplied data. If a user opens a maliciously formed CSP file, then an attacker could execute arbitrary code within the current process by accessing an uninitialized pointer. CVE-2023-31244 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.8 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF OPERATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF A MEMORY BUFFER CWE-119 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g., HMI). This could lead to an out-of-bounds write at CScape_EnvisionRV+0x2e374b. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-32203 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.9 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF OPERATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF A MEMORY BUFFER CWE-119 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g., HMI). This could lead to an out-of-bounds write at CScape_EnvisionRV+0x2e3c04. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to potentially execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-32539 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.2.10 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF OPERATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF A MEMORY BUFFER CWE-119 The affected application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing project files (e.g., HMI). This could lead to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to potentially execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. CVE-2023-31278 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 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). 3.3 BACKGROUND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Critical Manufacturing COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: United States 3.4 RESEARCHER Michael Heinzl reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
