Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs Unknown Unknown and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Distribution package intelligence
8 package statesRelease-specific package status
Alpine, Debian, ubuntu findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.
Repository candidate not checked
A published vendor fix does not prove that a matching update is enabled and installable on a particular asset. Confirm the local package candidate before scheduling remediation.

The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.
- EcoStruxure™ Power Operation (EPO) 2022 CU6 and prior
- EcoStruxure™ Power Operation (EPO) 2024 CU1 and prior
- Summary
- In _imagingcms.c in Pillow before 10.3.0, a buffer overflow exists because strcpy is used instead of strncpy.
- Remediation
- The CVE’s listed above affect the PostgresSQL pgadmin tool. If you have installed this tool, not required by EcoStruxure™ Power Operation 2024, we recommend you uninstall it from your EPO server and client machines.We strongly recommend customers take the following actions:• If waveform analysis and ETAP simulation features are not used, uninstall PostgreSQLOR• For those customers using waveform analysis and ETAP simulation features, we recommend all deployments of EPO only accept connections from localhost in PostgresSQL. Contact customer care for information on how to modify PostgreSQL. Further, we recommend you manually uninstall PostgreSQL 14.10 and update to PostgreSQL 14.17 or higher. EcoStruxure™ Power Operation 2024 CU2 includes an updated version of PostgreSQL and is available for download here: https://community.se.com/t5/EcoStruxure-Power-Operation/v2024-Release-amp-Updates-Install-Procedure/m-p/478928/thread-id/6997#M6997

Patch available01
What, why and how
In _imagingcms.c in Pillow before 10.3.0, a buffer overflow exists because strcpy is used instead of strncpy.
What
In _imagingcms.c in Pillow before 10.3.0, a buffer overflow exists because strcpy is used instead of strncpy.
Why
The product performs a calculation to determine how much memory to allocate, but an integer overflow can occur that causes less memory to be allocated than expected, leading to a buffer overflow.
How
An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- local access → Integer Overflow to Buffer Overflow → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
- Attack surface
- Local
- Privileges required
- Low: a basic authenticated account is required
- User interaction

- Attack complexity
- High: exploitation depends on specific conditions
- Security boundary
- Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-680 ↗
CWE-680: Integer Overflow to Buffer Overflow. The product performs a calculation to determine how much memory to allocate, but an integer overflow can occur that causes less memory to be allocated than expected, leading to a buffer overflow.

- The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.
