VAR-201606-0256
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-12 23:15Unspecified ActiveX controls in Advantech WebAccess before 8.1_20160519 allow remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information or modify data via unknown vectors, related to the INTERFACESAFE_FOR_UNTRUSTED_CALLER (aka safe for scripting) flag. Advantech WebAccess (formerly known as BroadWin WebAccess) is a suite of browser-based HMI/SCADA software from Advantech. The software supports dynamic graphical display and real-time data control, and provides the ability to remotely control and manage automation equipment. An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in Advantech WebAccess prior to 8.1_20160519, which was caused by a program that marked an unsafe ActiveX control as safe-for-scripting. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to insert and execute arbitrary code. Advantech WebAccess is prone to the following security vulnerabilities: 1. A local buffer-overflow vulnerability Local attackers can exploit these issues to perform unauthorized actions and crash the affected application; denying service to legitimate users. Due to the nature of these issues, code-execution may be possible but this has not been confirmed. Versions prior to Advantech WebAccess 8.1_20160519 are vulnerable

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.
