Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a victim to open a specially crafted V-SFT (.V8/.V9 project) file in Fuji Electric V-SFT version 6.2.7.0 or earlier; the flaw is in the is_motion_tween drawing-item parsing path (VS6ComFile!CItemDraw::is_motion_tween). It is NOT remotely triggerable: the CVSS 4.0 vector is local (AV:L) and mandates active user interaction (UI:A), so delivery depends on social engineering to get an engineer or operator to open the malicious file. Limiting factors that reduce realistic risk: the attacker must craft a valid-appearing malicious file, the victim must be running a vulnerable V-SFT version on an engineering/configuration workstation, and the software's niche ICS footprint narrows the target population. No special product configuration is required beyond having the vulnerable version installed and opening the file.

Impact

Signals here point to a moderate, non-urgent priority despite the 8.4 CVSS 4.0 score. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A) describes a local, file-opening attack requiring active user interaction rather than remote exploitation, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) and no scope change to subsequent systems. EPSS is low at 0.18% (7th percentile), indicating very low probability of exploitation in the near term, and this CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV - so no public exploit identified at time of analysis. These signals are internally consistent: a client-side parser flaw in niche ICS engineering software that depends on tricking an operator into opening a malicious project file is a poor fit for mass, automated exploitation, which aligns with the low EPSS. No SSVC decision data was provided in the input. The PR:N metric technically denotes unauthenticated, but exploitation realistically hinges on social engineering (UI:A), not network reachability. Net: a genuine code-execution risk warranting patching on engineering workstations, but not an emergency given low real-world exploitation probability, no known POC, and the user-interaction and local-access prerequisites.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious V-SFT project file and delivers it to an engineer or operator (via email, shared drive, or USB), who opens it in a vulnerable V-SFT v6.2.7.0 or earlier installation. The out-of-bounds write in CItemDraw::is_motion_tween corrupts memory, allowing information disclosure, an abnormal application termination (ABEND), or arbitrary code execution on the engineering workstation. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, so exploitation would require the attacker to develop a working trigger.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Out-of-bounds write in Fuji Electric V-SFT 6.2.7.0 and earlier can let a crafted V-SFT project file cause information disclosure, abnormal termination (ABEND), or arbitrary code execution when a user opens it. The flaw is in the VS6ComFile!CItemDraw::is_motion_tween drawing-item parsing path; the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector is local with user interaction (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), so exploitation depends on social engineering to deliver a malicious .V8/.V9 project file to a vulnerable engineering workstation rather than remote network access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.18% (7th percentile), CISA KEV does not list this CVE, and the overall signals point to a moderate, non-urgent priority despite the 8.4 CVSS 4.0 score.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so remediation should begin by checking Fuji Electric's MONITOUCH V-SFT download page (https://monitouch.fujielectric.com/site/download-e/09vsft6_inf/Search.php) and the JVN advisory (https://jvn.jp/en/vu/JVNVU90008453/) for an updated V-SFT release and upgrading beyond 6.2.7.0 once available. Until a fixed version is applied, treat V-SFT project files as untrusted: block or tightly control inbound .V8/.V9 files from email, web, and removable media; require validation from a known engineering source before opening; and open suspicious projects only in a sandboxed or disposable VM. Running V-SFT with least privilege limits the impact of code execution but does not prevent the parsing flaw, and restricting project-file transfer can disrupt legitimate engineering workflows, so pair it with an approved secure file-exchange process.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is VS6ComFile!CItemDraw::is_motion_tween, a parser routine used when V-SFT processes drawing-item definitions in MONITOUCH project files. The root cause is CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write), meaning the software miscalculates a destination buffer size or trusts a file-controlled length/index and writes past the end of allocated memory while parsing a specially crafted V-SFT file. CPE data maps the issue to fujielectric:monitouch_v-sft, and the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A) together with the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicate a local, user-interaction-dependent memory-corruption issue in an engineering/configuration tool, not a remotely reachable service flaw; the vector includes PR:N, so no authentication or special privileges are required on the attacker side, but active user interaction (UI:A/UI:R) remains mandatory. Successful corruption can disclose memory contents, crash the application (ABEND), or potentially redirect execution.

DescriptionCVE.org

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in VS6ComFile!CItemDraw::is_motion_tween of V-SFT v6.2.7.0 and earlier. Opening specially crafted V-SFT files may lead to information disclosure, affected system's abnormal end (ABEND), and arbitrary code execution.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Fuji Electric's V-SFT engineering software (6.2.7.0 and earlier) - the tool used to build HMI and control displays - contains a high-severity memory-corruption flaw that can be triggered when an engineer simply opens a specially crafted project file, potentially exposing sensitive data, crashing the tool, or allowing code execution on that workstation. The exposure is not remote: it depends on social engineering to get a malicious .V8/.V9 file in front of an engineer, which limits broad exploitation but concentrates risk on engineering and integration staff who routinely exchange project files. Leadership should care because a compromised engineering workstation can become a foothold into OT environments and disrupt configuration and deployment workflows, even though no public exploit or active exploitation is currently known.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: block or quarantine .V8/.V9 project files at email and web gateways, prohibit opening project files from untrusted sources, run V-SFT with least privilege on a dedicated account, enforce application allowlisting/EDR monitoring around V-SFT, isolate engineering workstations from direct OT network access, and process untrusted project files only in offline or sandboxed environments.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
