GE CIMPLICITY 2023 is by a process control vulnerability, which could allow a local attacker to insert malicious configuration files in the expected web server execution path to escalate privileges and gain full control of the HMI software.

All versions of GE Digital CIMPLICITY that are not adhering to SDG guidance and accepting documents from untrusted sources are vulnerable to memory corruption issues due to insufficient input validation, including issues such as out-of-bounds reads and writes, use-after-free, stack-based buffer overflows, uninitialized pointers, and a heap-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

GE CIMPICITY versions 2022 and prior is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds write, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

GE CIMPICITY versions 2022 and prior is vulnerable when data from a faulting address controls code flow starting at gmmiObj!CGmmiRootOptionTable, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

GE CIMPICITY versions 2022 and prior is vulnerable when data from a faulting address controls code flow starting at gmmiObj!CGmmiOptionContainer, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

GE CIMPICITY versions 2022 and prior is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

GE CIMPICITY versions 2022 and prior is vulnerable when data from faulting address controls code flow starting at gmmiObj!CGmmiOptionContainer, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The affected product is vulnerable due to cleartext transmission of credentials seen in the CIMPLICITY network, which can be easily spoofed and used to log in to make operational changes to the system.

A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the GE Digital CIMPLICITY HMI/SCADA product v10.0 and prior. If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an adversary to modify the system, leading to the arbitrary execution of code. This vulnerability is only exploitable if an attacker has access to an authenticated session. GE Digital CIMPLICITY v11.0, released January 2020, contains mitigation for this local privilege escalation vulnerability. GE Digital recommends all users upgrade to GE CIMPLICITY v11.0 or newer.
