      "value": "Labcenter Electronics Proteus PDSPRJ File Parsing Type Confusion Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Labcenter Electronics Proteus. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.\n\nThe specific flaw exists within the parsing of PDSPRJ files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-25717."

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de Labcenter Electronics Proteus. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso.\n\nLa falla específica reside en el análisis de archivos PDSPRJ. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede resultar en una condición de confusión de tipos.
