Moxa SoftCMS IPCam.IPCam_Video_Render_Plugin.1 IVLCControl setConfigPath Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Vulnerability Details
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Moxa SoftCMS. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the setConfigPath method of the IPCam.IPCam_Video_Render_Plugin.1 control. The implementation copies the user-supplied string to a field in a heap-based buffer without validating its size, which can lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.
