VAR-201601-0028
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:22Heap-based buffer overflow in MICROSYS PROMOTIC before 8.3.11 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service via a malformed HTML document. MICROSYS PROMOTIC is a Windows-based monitoring and data acquisition human-machine interface software programming suite for industrial applications. MICROSYS PROMOTIC is prone to a local heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service condition. Due to the nature of this issue, code-execution may be possible; however this has not been confirmed

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
