CVE-2024-12742

Code execution via unvalidated GWEBPROJECT deserialization

Published Mar 6, 2025 · Updated Mar 6, 2025

Deserialization in NI G Web Development Software 2022 Q3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted project file. The GWEBPROJECT parser deserializes user-controlled project data without adequate validation, allowing code to run in the current process. Exploitation requires a user to open the file, and resulting code executes with that process's privileges.
