FactoryTalk Linx versions 6.00, 6.10, and 6.11, RSLinx Classic v4.11.00 and prior,Connected Components Workbench: Version 12 and prior, ControlFLASH: Version 14 and later, ControlFLASH Plus: Version 1 and later, FactoryTalk Asset Centre: Version 9 and later, FactoryTalk Linx CommDTM: Version 1 and later, Studio 5000 Launcher: Version 31 and later Stud, 5000 Logix Designer software: Version 32 and prior is vulnerable. The parsing mechanism that processes certain file types does not provide input sanitation. This may allow an attacker to use specially crafted files to traverse the file system and modify or expose sensitive data or execute arbitrary code.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Rockwell Automation Studio 5000. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the CopyRenameProject parameter provided to hmiisapi.dll. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
