Code execution via oversized Add Computers input
Published Sep 22, 2022 · Updated May 27, 2025
Buffer overflow in 10-Strike Network Inventory Explorer 9.3 allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted Add Computers input. The Add Computers handler copies an oversized computer entry into a fixed-size buffer without checking its length, overwriting adjacent memory. The published assessment requires no authentication or user interaction, and successful exploitation executes code in the application's context.
