Infrasuite Device Master: Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVE-2023-34347 is a critical-severity deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Infrasuite Device Master from Delta Electronics, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version v1.0.7 as the first without the flaw, so updating Infrasuite Device Master to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.95% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 62% of scored CVEs.

Patch this week

Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.

What to do

  1. Update Infrasuite Device Master to v1.0.7 or a later version.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

​Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions prior to 1.0.7 contains classes that cannot be deserialized, which could allow an attack to remotely execute arbitrary code.

The underlying weakness: Deserialization of Untrusted Data

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.
  • When deserializing data, populate a new object rather than just deserializing. The result is that the data flows through safe input validation and that the functions are safe.
  • Explicitly define a final object() to prevent deserialization.
