CVE-2018-10832

ModbusPal 1.6b is vulnerable to an XML External Entity (XXE) attack.

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 5.94%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

ModbusPal 1.6b is vulnerable to an XML External Entity (XXE) attack. Projects are saved as .xmpp files and automations can be exported as .xmpa files, both XML-based, which are vulnerable to XXE injection. Sending a crafted .xmpp or .xmpa file to a user, when opened/imported in ModbusPal, will return the contents of any local files to a remote attacker.
