Code execution via DOE parser use-after-free
Published Dec 5, 2024 · Updated Dec 6, 2024
Use-after-free in DOE file parsing in Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation 16.20.00 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code. The parser performs operations on an object without confirming that it still exists, allowing a crafted DOE file to trigger use of a previously freed resource. Exploitation requires a legitimate user to open or otherwise execute the malicious file, and resulting code runs in the context of the current process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <16.20.00
- Affected versionversion=All versions 16.20.00 and prior
