Summary

Echo Curve Viewer is an utility used for offline visualization of previously recorded envelope curve data. Envelope curve records are exported from other Endress+Hauser software products like FieldCare as .curves files.

Echo Curve Viewer opens .curves files and displays their contents. The .curves files contain device- specific C# calculation scripts as .cs files, that are needed for the interpretation of certain curve record types.

Echo Curve Viewer loads .curves files and executes the contained C# code. 

CVE ID

CVE-2024-6596 

Last Update:

11. Juli 2024 12:08

Severity

9.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H) 

Weakness

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')  (CWE-94) 

Summary

An unauthenticated remote attacker can run malicious c# code included in curve files and execute commands in the users context. 

Details

cert.vde.com 

Impact

.curves files are not authenticated and universally trusted by the Echo Curve Viewer. Therefore, the contained C# code is executed without further authentication or validation.

Potential attack vector: manipulated .cs files with malicious C# code may be included in .curves file.

Solution

Remediation

  • For standalone Echo Curve Viewer installations, download and install Echo Curve Viewer version >=
    6.00.00 from the Endress+Hauser Software Portal
  • For bundled installations with FieldCare SFE500, download and install FieldCare SFE500 Package version
    >= 1.40.1 from the Endress+Hauser Software Portal
  • For Field Xpert Devices, the required update is installed automatically during startup. This requires a
    working internet connection and (under certain circumstances) a valid maintenance period and/or a
    connection to the E+H Netilion Cloud. Please refer to the Field Xpert documentation for details regarding
    the update mechanism.
