Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-07-09 12:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 05:59
Severity
6.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC STEP 7 Safety V18 (All versions < V18 Update 2). Affected applications do not properly restrict the .NET BinaryFormatter when deserializing user-controllable input. This could allow an attacker to cause a type confusion and execute arbitrary code within the affected application. This is the same issue that exists for .NET BinaryFormatter https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/code-quality/ca2300.
