Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cybersecurity community has recently identified a new vulnerability, termed CVE-2025-30419, that affects the NI Circuit Design Suite. This vulnerability is particularly concerning due to its memory corruption capabilities, which may result in information disclosure or arbitrary code execution. Specifically, the vulnerability is associated with an out of bounds read<\/a> in GetSymbolBorderRectSize() when using the SymbolEditor. It affects versions 14.3.0 and prior of the NI Circuit Design<\/a> Suite, a software widely used for the design of complex electronic circuits.
\nGiven the extensive usage of this software suite in the electronics industry, this vulnerability carries significant potential for system<\/a> compromise or data leakage. Successful exploitation requires user<\/a> interaction, specifically the opening of a maliciously crafted .sym file.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-30419
\nSeverity: High (CVSS 7.8)
\nAttack Vector: Local File Inclusion<\/a>
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

NI Circuit Design Suite | 14.3.0 and prior versions<\/a><\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit takes advantage of a memory corruption vulnerability<\/a> due to an out of bounds read in the GetSymbolBorderRectSize() function when using the SymbolEditor in the NI Circuit Design Suite. An attacker crafts a .sym file containing malicious code<\/a>, which when opened by a user, triggers the vulnerability. The memory corruption then allows for arbitrary code<\/a> execution or information disclosure, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

For illustrative purposes, the below pseudocode demonstrates a general idea of how an attacker may craft a malicious .sym file that exploits the vulnerability<\/a>:<\/p>\n

create sym_file\nfunction craft_malicious_code() {\n\/\/ Code that triggers the memory corruption in GetSymbolBorderRectSize()\n\/\/ and executes arbitrary malicious actions\n}\nwrite craft_malicious_code() to sym_file\nsave sym_file<\/code><\/pre>\n
The saved .sym file is then sent to the victim. Upon opening the file in the vulnerable<\/a> application, the vulnerability is triggered, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
\nIt is imperative for users to apply the vendor-supplied patch for this vulnerability<\/a> or to use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
