Remediation

Vendor Solution

With the next version of Automation Worx Software Suite (Version > 1.87) a sharpened input data validation with respect to buffer size and description of size and number of objects referenced in a file will be implemented.


Vendor Workaround

We strongly recommend customers to exchange project files only using secure file exchange services. Project files should not be exchanged via unencrypted email. In addition, we recommend exchanging or storing project files together with a checksum to ensure their integrity.
