Product | Affected Versions
Ocuco Innovation – INNOVASERVICEINTF.EXE | v2.10.24.17
How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability stems from an issue within the INNOVASERVICEINTF.EXE v2.10.24.17 software that fails to properly authenticate incoming TCP packets. As a result, an attacker can craft a malicious TCP packet that the software accepts as legitimate. This allows the attacker to bypass standard authentication processes and gain administrative privileges, providing unfettered access to the system and its data.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of a TCP packet that could theoretically exploit this vulnerability:
Source Port: 12345
Destination Port: 67890
Sequence Number: 1000
Acknowledgment Number: 1001
Data Offset: 5
Reserved: 0
Flags: URG=0, ACK=1, PSH=1, RST=0, SYN=0, FIN=0
Window: 8192
Checksum: 0xC00F
Urgent Pointer: 0
Options: []
Data: "<crafted malicious payload>"Mitigation
Users of affected versions of Ocuco Innovation – INNOVASERVICEINTF.EXE are strongly advised to apply the patch provided by the vendor as soon as possible. In situations where immediate patch deployment is not feasible, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation, helping to shield the vulnerable software from exploitation. However, these are not long-term solutions and should be complemented by the application of the patch once it is feasible to do so.
