Updated

An issue was discovered in Softing OPC UA C++ SDK through 6.20 and Softing Secure Integration Server through 1.22. By using FileType renames, it is possible to bypass limitations on assignment of a directory path to FileDirectory OPC UA objects and a file path to File OPC UA objects.

Other sources

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Softing Secure Integration Server. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the handling of OPC UA FileDirectory FileType renames. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of root.
