CVE-2023-32545

Code execution via project-file out-of-bounds read

Published Jun 6, 2023 · Updated Jan 7, 2025

Out-of-bounds read in Horner Automation Cscape 9.90 SP8 and Cscape Envision RV 4.70 allows attackers to execute code via a crafted CSP file. The Cscape!CANPortMigration routine fails to validate user-supplied project data before reading beyond the intended buffer. Execution requires a user to open the crafted project file, and successful exploitation runs code in the current process context.
