A CWE-416: Use after free vulnerability exists inIGSS Definition (Def.exe) V15.0.0.21140 and prior that could result in loss of data or remote code execution due to use of unchecked input data, when a malicious CGF file is imported to IGSS Definition.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Schneider Electric IGSS Definition when a malicious CGF file is imported. It could cause data loss or remote code execution. The public bundle does not provide CVSS scoring, confirmed exploitation, or a named fixed version, so urgency should be driven by whether IGSS Definition handles external CGF files. Exposure is most likely on engineering or operations workstations running IGSS Definition (Def.exe) V15.0.0.21140 or earlier, especially where users import CGF files from vendors, contractors, backups, or shared project repositories. Prioritize review where IGSS supports operational or industrial environments and imports third-party project files. Treat as high impact but evidence-limited: there is possible remote code execution, but no cited active exploitation or CVSS score in the bundle. Mitigation focus: Check Schneider Electric advisory SEVD-2021-159-01 for official update or mitigation guidance.; Avoid importing CGF files from untrusted or unverified sources.; Restrict IGSS Definition use to authorized engineering users and trusted workstations..

Use After Free

Use After Free represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
