CVE-2023-43819Network attack vector

Code execution via InitialMacroLen stack overflow

Published Jan 18, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in Delta Electronics DOPSoft 2.00.00.00 through 2.00.07.04 allows remote attackers to execute code via a DPS file. The DPS parser mishandles the InitialMacroLen field while processing a crafted length value, causing the stack overflow. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to entice a user to open the crafted file, after which code executes in the application context.
