Remote code execution via skipped bounds checks
Published Feb 4, 2025 · Updated Feb 4, 2025
Classic buffer overflow in AutomationDirect C-more EA9 HMI firmware 6.79 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code or crash devices. An undisclosed network-facing function permits its bounds checks to be skipped before it copies attacker-controlled input. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation either executes code on the HMI or interrupts its service.

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.
