Schneider Electric Vijeo Historian Web Server Multiple Vulnerabilities

November 28, 2011

Researcher Kuang-Chun Hung of Security Research and Service Institute Information and Communication Security Technology Center (ICST) has identified four vulnerabilities in the Schneider Electric Vijeo Historian product line. These vulnerabilities include a denial of service (DoS), buffer overflow, a cross-site scripting (XSS), and a directory traversal.

1) Two errors in the TeeChart ActiveX control can be exploited to cause buffer overflows. No further information is currently available. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

3) Certain unspecified input passed to the web portal is not properly verified before being used to read files and can be exploited to disclose arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks. 

According to Schneider Electric the following products are affected:
-  Vijeo Historian V4.30 and earlier
-  CitectHistorian V4.30 and earlier
-  CitectSCADA Reports V4.10 and earlier.
