VAR-201607-0386

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:22

An unspecified ActiveX control in Schneider Electric SoMachine HVAC Programming Software for M171/M172 Controllers before 2.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, related to the INTERFACESAFE_FOR_UNTRUSTED_CALLER (aka safe for scripting) flag. 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 SetDataIntf method of the AxEditGrid control. The control has an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability because it blindly calls an attacker-supplied memory address. A remote attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process. Schneider Electric SoMachine HVAC Programming Software for M171 / M172 Controllers is a set of M171 / M172 controller-specific programming software from Schneider Electric (France). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions

    Related by attack behaviour

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
