Heap-based buffer overflow in the WWCabFile ActiveX component in the Wonderware System Platform in Invensys Wonderware Application Server 2012 and earlier, Foxboro Control Software 3.1 and earlier, InFusion CE/FE/SCADA 2.5 and earlier, Wonderware Information Server 4.5 and earlier, ArchestrA Application Object Toolkit 3.2 and earlier, and InTouch 10.0 through 10.5 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string to the Open member, leading to a function-pointer overwrite.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older Wonderware and related Invensys industrial software. A vulnerable ActiveX component can mishandle oversized input, creating a path to remote code execution. Treat exposed legacy engineering, HMI, SCADA, or information-server systems as priority review items. Exposure is most likely in legacy Invensys/Wonderware environments running the listed versions: Application Server, Foxboro Control Software, InFusion CE/FE/SCADA, Wonderware Information Server, ArchestrA Toolkit, or InTouch 10.0 through 10.5. Prioritize this where affected software is still present in production or engineering networks. The business concern is not volume; it is potential code execution on industrial control software that may be difficult to patch quickly. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running the affected Invensys/Wonderware product versions.; Check the Wonderware and US-CERT advisories for vendor-supported updates or mitigations.; Remove or disable the vulnerable ActiveX component where vendor guidance allows..
