CVE-2023-2186
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
On Triangle MicroWorks' SCADA Data Gateway version <= v5.01.03, an unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted broadcast message including format string characters to the SCADA Data Gateway to perform unrestricted memory reads.An unauthenticated user can use this format string vulnerability to repeatedly crash the GTWWebMonitor.exe process to DoS the Web Monitor. Furthermore, an authenticated user can leverage this vulnerability to leak memory from the GTWWebMonitor.exe process. This could be leveraged in an exploit chain to gain code execution.

"value": "En la versión menor o igual a v5.01.03 de SCADA Data Gateway de Triangle MicroWorks, un atacante no autenticado puede enviar un mensaje de difusión especialmente diseñado que incluye caracteres de cadena de formato al SCADA Data Gateway para realizar lecturas de memoria sin restricciones. Un usuario no autenticado puede usar esta vulnerabilidad de cadena de formato para bloquear repetidamente el proceso GTWWebMonitor.exe para realizar un DoS al Web Monitor. Además, un usuario autenticado puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para filtrar memoria del proceso GTWWebMonitor.exe. Esto podría ser aprovechado en una cadena de exploits para obtener ejecución de código."
