Technical details

A Type Confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) exists in AzeoTech DAQFactory versions 21.1 and prior. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a specially crafted .ctl file, leading to the access of resources using an incompatible type. This is a local attack vector requiring user interaction (UI:A), where a user must be persuaded to open the malicious file. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the application. CISA recommends mitigations such as using 'Safe Mode' when loading untrusted documents and restricting write access to folders containing .ctl files, as no specific software patch was detailed in the initial advisory.
