CVE-2014-0773: Advantech WebAccess Command Injection

The BWOCXRUN.BwocxrunCtrl.1 control contains a method named “CreateProcess.” This method contains validation to ensure an attacker cannot run arbitrary command lines. After validation, the values supplied in the HTML are passed to the Windows CreateProcessA API. The validation can be bypassed allowing for running arbitrary command lines. The command line can specify running remote files (example: UNC command line). A function exists at offset 100019B0 of bwocxrun.ocx. Inside this function, there are 3 calls to strstr to check the contents of the user specified command line. If “\setup.exe,” “\bwvbprt.exe,” or “\bwvbprtl.exe” are contained in the command line (strstr returns nonzero value), the command line passes validation and is then passed to CreateProcessA.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Advantech WebAccess 7.2 includes a vulnerable control that can be tricked into running arbitrary Windows commands. For organizations using this industrial web platform, the concern is unauthorized command execution on affected systems, potentially affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The supplied sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where Advantech WebAccess 7.2 or the vulnerable bwocxrun.ocx control remains deployed, especially on reachable Windows systems in operational technology environments. The source bundle lists WebAccess versions 0 and 7.2 but does not provide a complete affected-version range. Prioritize remediation for any WebAccess system exposed beyond a tightly controlled OT management network. This is a high-severity unauthenticated command injection issue in industrial software, but urgency depends on actual deployment, reachability, and whether vendor mitigations are already applied. Mitigation focus: Check Advantech and CISA guidance for supported updates or vendor-recommended mitigations.; Remove or disable the vulnerable control where it is not operationally required.; Restrict WebAccess access to trusted administrative networks only..

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
