CVE-2023-39468Network attack vector

Authenticated SYSTEM code execution via exposed reset function

Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Remote code execution in Triangle MicroWorks SCADA Data Gateway 5.1.3.20324 allows remote authenticated users to execute code as SYSTEM. The DbasSectorFileToExecuteOnReset parameter exposes a dangerous reset function, but public records do not disclose the intervening operation that turns its input into executable code. Successful exploitation requires high-privilege authentication and gives the submitted code full SYSTEM privileges.
