Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may result in remote code execution.
The vulnerabilities affect the following HMI SCADA products:
A lack of proper validation of user-supplied data may result in a write past the end of an allocated data structure. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability as the target must attempt to import a malicious AutoCAD DWG file into GraphWorX64.
CVE-2021-27041 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
A lack of proper validation of user-supplied data may allow reading past the end of an allocated data structure. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability as the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
CVE-2021-27040 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 3.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
