| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a user of V-SFT to open a maliciously crafted V7 file (the native file format parsed by the product); per the CVSS vector exploitation is local (AV:L) and requires active user interaction (UI:A), so there is no remote or network-facing attack surface and no authentication is needed by the attacker (PR:N) since the malicious file itself carries the payload. The principal limiting factors are: the attacker must deliver the crafted file to a victim and that victim must open it in V-SFT, confining realistic exploitation to social-engineering or supply-chain delivery of project files to ICS/HMI engineering workstations; impact is bounded to the vulnerable system (no scope change). |
| Impact | Signals point to a genuine but interaction-gated engineering-workstation risk rather than a remotely-wormable emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A) describes a local, low-complexity flaw with no privileges needed but requiring the victim to actively open a crafted V7 file, yielding high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact on the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) with no scope change (SC/SI/SA:N) - consistent with a client-side file-parsing out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', indicating prompt but not drop-everything urgency. There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or a quantified exploitation probability; absence of these is not proof of safety but means widespread automated exploitation is not indicated. No public exploit or PoC reference is present in the input. The dependence on user interaction (an operator must be lured into opening a malicious project/screen file) is the dominant limiting factor and makes this a targeted social-engineering risk against ICS/HMI engineers rather than a mass-exploitation threat. Note the AV:L designation: this is not network-reachable, so 'remote' exploitation only occurs via file delivery, not direct network attack. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious V7 project/screen file and delivers it to an HMI engineer by phishing, a shared project repository, or a USB handoff. When the engineer opens the file in V-SFT, the out-of-bounds write is triggered, potentially leaking memory contents or executing attacker-controlled code in the context of the user running V-SFT. No public exploit code is identified in the available data, so this remains a plausible scenario rather than a demonstrated one. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026
An out-of-bounds write in Fuji Electric's V-SFT screen-creation software (also published under Hakko Electronics) is triggered when a user opens a crafted V7 project file, allowing memory corruption that can disclose information or lead to arbitrary code execution on the engineering workstation running the tool. Exploitation is local and interaction-gated: the attacker must first deliver the malicious V7 file to a victim who then opens it in V-SFT, so there is no network-facing attack surface and no credentials are needed for the file itself to carry the payload. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) are indicated in the available intelligence, but the JVN-published issue is rated high severity and prioritized for remediation this week.
RemediationAI
No fixed version is stated in the available intelligence, so the primary action is to obtain the vendor's remediation from Fuji Electric's advisory (https://felib.fujielectric.co.jp/en/M10010/M20060/document_detail/5d9dd71d-9494-41a4-aa5c-8e6b8b21066b?region=en-glb) and the JVN note JVNVU96549652 (https://jvn.jp/en/vu/JVNVU96549652/) and apply the update or fixed build specified there as soon as it is confirmed; verify the exact version rather than assuming an untagged release is patched. Until a fix is applied, reduce exposure by treating V7 project files as untrusted input: only open files received through verified channels or from known integrators, and inspect or re-create project files received from outside the organization before opening them - the trade-off is added engineering time and friction for legitimate file exchange. Because the attack path depends on a user opening a crafted file on an engineering workstation, restrict where V-SFT project files can originate (for example, gate external file transfers and removable media through a controlled review step) and keep those workstations segmented from plant networks, accepting that this limits convenience for engineers who routinely move projects between systems. There is no confirmation that any configuration setting disables the vulnerable V7 parsing path, so do not rely on product settings alone as a workaround.

Technical ContextAI · show details
V-SFT is Fuji Electric / Hakko Electronics' screen-design and programming environment for its HMI operator panels and related controllers, and V7 is the native project/workspace file format the tool parses when a project is opened. The defect is classified as CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write): the parser writes past the bounds of an allocated buffer while handling attacker-controlled content inside the V7 file, corrupting adjacent memory. The supplied CVSS v4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A, with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact but no scope change) and the independently assessed CVSS v3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) both describe a local, non-race condition that does not depend on a pre-existing attack precondition and requires the user to actively open the file; impact is confined to the vulnerable system. The precise file-structure element that triggers the overflow is not described in the available sources, and only the CPE-designated V-SFT product is listed as affected. Because corrupted project files are ordinary engineering artifacts exchanged between integrators, OEMs and plant engineers, the practical distribution vector is a malicious or tampered V7 project handed to a workstation operator rather than a network service.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
V-SFT provided by FUJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. Opening a crafted V7 file may lead to information exposure or arbitrary code execution on the affected product.
Executive ViewAI
Fuji Electric's V-SFT screen-creation software contains a high-severity memory corruption flaw that can be triggered when an engineer opens a malicious V7 project file, potentially leading to code execution on the engineering workstation. This impacts organizations using V-SFT for HMI/PLC development, where a compromised workstation could serve as a pivot point into industrial control systems. Leadership should prioritize remediation due to the elevated risk to critical engineering environments and the absence of a vendor patch.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: enforcing strict control over V7 project file sources (only accept from trusted parties and verify integrity), isolating engineering workstations from untrusted networks, applying application allowlisting and memory protection technologies, and training users to exercise caution when opening project files from external sources.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
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.
