CVE-2020-11639 | Insufficient access control on Inter process communication,

An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by injecting garbage data or specially crafted data. Depending on the data injected each process might be affected differently. The process could crash or cause communication issues on the affected node, effectively causing a denial-of-service attack. The attacker could tamper with the data transmitted, causing the product to store wrong information or act on wrong data or display wrong information. This issue affects Advant MOD 300 AdvaBuild: from 3.0 through 3.7 SP2. For an attack to be successful, the attacker must have local access to a node in the system and be able to start a specially crafted application that disrupts the communication. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability would be able to manipulate the data in such way as allowing reads and writes to the controllers or cause Windows processes in 800xA for MOD 300 and AdvaBuild to crash.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
7.8 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
