  • Desigo CC ClickOnce Client V7
  • Desigo CC Installed Client V6
  • Desigo CC Installed Client V7
Summary
The affected application is vulnerable to Client Code Execution (CCE) due to insufficient input validation when handling scripts embedded within user-defined graphics documents. Specifically, when the script within a graphics document is designed or modified by an attacker to include malicious commands. When a user opens a compromised graphics document, the embedded script is executed on the client application instance, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary files to the client's operating system. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to craft a malicious graphics document and entice a user with sufficient privileges to display it. This could lead to compromise of the client operating system and potential lateral movement within the organization.
Remediation
Evaluate authorization policy for Graphics application following Least Privilege principle, so only required users have access to the configuration.

This could lead to compromise of the client operating system and potential lateral movement within the organization.

Why

Untrusted data can cross into a code-evaluation path and be interpreted as executable instructions.

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
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

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
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

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 → Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') → 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
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary
Not a CVSS 4.0 base metric
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-94 ↗

CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'). The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
