CVE-2023-43816Network attack vector

Code execution via unchecked DPS string length

Published Jan 18, 2024 · Updated Nov 13, 2024

Buffer overflow in Delta Electronics DOPSoft 2.00.00.00 through 2.00.07.04 allows attackers to execute code via a crafted DPS file. The DPS parser mishandles the attacker-controlled wKPFStringLen value and writes beyond the bounds of a memory buffer. Exploitation requires a user to open the malicious project file, after which code runs in the DOPSoft process context.
