the location of shell files being loaded into the system. By modifying
the source location, an attacker could send shell code to the
CimWebServer which would deploy the nefarious files as part of any SCADA
project. This could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Vendor Solution
GE has produced an update that mitigates one vulnerability and made configuration changes to mitigate the other. Please reference the following GE Product Security Advisories for specific information on the vulnerabilities. GEIP13-05 To address this vulnerability, all copies of the gefebt.exe files that are accessible from a Web client must be deleted or moved, so they are inaccessible. If the production Web configuration currently relies on gefebt.exe, changes to the server’s Web pages may also be desirable. The GE Product Security Advisory, which provides additional guidance, is available here: http://support.ge-ip.com/support/index?page=kbchannel&id=KB15939 GEIP13-06 Download Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY 8.2 SIM 24 at: http://support.ge-ip.com/support/index?page=dwchannel&id=DN4128 The GE Product Security Advisory is available here: http://support.ge-ip.com/support/index?page=kbchannel&id=KB15940
