CVE-2025-53416

Administrator-context code execution via project-file deserialization

Published Jun 30, 2025 · Updated Jul 15, 2025

Deserialization of untrusted data in Delta Electronics DTN Soft 2.1.0 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. The project-file parser deserializes user-supplied data without proper validation, allowing crafted content to control execution. A target must open a malicious project file or visit a malicious page, after which the code runs in an administrator context.
