VAR-201404-0543
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-09-21 23:04An attacker may pass an overly long value from the AccessCode2 argument to the control to overflow the static stack buffer. The attacker may then remotely execute arbitrary code. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists within the webvact.ocx ActiveX Control. The control does not check the length of an attacker-supplied AccessCode2 string before copying it into a fixed length buffer on the stack. Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA is an HMI/SCADA software. Advantech WebAccess fails to properly filter user input when processing Username parameters, allowing remote attackers to exploit vulnerabilities to submit special parameters that trigger stack buffer overflows, allowing applications to crash or execute arbitrary code. Advantech WebAccess is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. Failed attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition. Advantech WebAccess 7.1 and prior are vulnerable. The software supports dynamic graphic display and real-time data control, and provides functions of remote control and management of automation equipment. There is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Advantech WebAccess 7.1 and earlier versions
