It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2023-27858 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-27858 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation, published on 27 Oct 2023. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-27858 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27858/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27858/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-27858","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27858/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-27858","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7hqq-m574-qjp2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Arena Simulation","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a malicious file in Rockwell Arena Simulation due to an uninitialized pointer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Rockwell","cpe":[{"product":"arena","vendor":"rockwellautomation"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-824","name":"Access of Uninitialized Pointer"}],"description":"Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability that could potentially allow a malicious user to commit unauthorized code to the software by using an uninitialized pointer in the application.  The threat-actor could then execute malicious code on the system affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the product.  The user would need to open a malicious file provided to them by the attacker for the code to execute.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Rockwell Automation Arena® Simulation Uninitialized Pointer Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-27858","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM Db2 code execution","id":"CVE-2023-27859"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2023-27857"},"products":["Arena Simulation"],"published":"2023-10-27","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Local Code Execution Vulnerability in Arena®","id":"CVE-2025-2285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Local Code Execution Vulnerability in Arena®","id":"CVE-2025-2286","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Local Code Execution Vulnerability in Arena®","id":"CVE-2025-2287","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Local Code Execution Vulnerability in Arena®","id":"CVE-2025-2288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Local Code Execution Vulnerability in Arena®","id":"CVE-2025-2293","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Local Code Execution Vulnerability in Arena®","id":"CVE-2025-2829","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Local Code Execution Vulnerability in Arena®","id":"CVE-2025-3285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-09","vendors":["Rockwell Automation"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a malicious file in Rockwell Arena Simulation due to an uninitialized pointer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27858/"}
