What is CVE-2022-1118?
CVE-2022-1118 is a high-severity unsafe deserialization vulnerability in Rockwell Automation Connected Component Workbench, published on 17 May 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Connected Components Workbench (v13.00.00 and prior), ISaGRAF Workbench (v6.0 though v6.6.9), and Safety Instrumented System Workstation (v1.2 and prior (for Trusted Controllers)) do not limit the objects that can be deserialized. This allows attackers to craft a malicious serialized object that, if opened by a local user in Connected Components Workbench, may result in arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability requires user interaction to be successfully exploited
Weakness: CWE-502
