NI VeriStand NIVSPRJ File Parsing Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Vulnerability Details
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NI VeriStand. 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 processing of NIVSPRJ files. When parsing the BinaryElements element, the process does not properly validate user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data.
