VAR-201708-1408
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:32An Uncontrolled Search Path Element issue was discovered in SIMPlight SCADA Software version 4.3.0.27 and prior. The uncontrolled search path element vulnerability has been identified, which may allow an attacker to place a malicious DLL file within the search path resulting in execution of arbitrary code. SIMPlight SCADA The software contains a vulnerability related to uncontrolled search path elements.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. SIMPlight SCADA is a building management system and automation equipment software. SIMPlight SCADA Software is prone to a local arbitrary code-execution vulnerability because it fails to sanitize user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. SIMPlight SCADA Software 4.3.0.27 and prior versions are vulnerable
