Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in IniNet embeddedWebServer (aka eWebServer) before 2.02 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long field in an HTTP request.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in IniNet embeddedWebServer (eWebServer) versions prior to 2.02. The vulnerabilities are triggered by sending HTTP requests containing overly long field values, which overflow stack-based buffers and allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

MitigationUpgrade embeddedWebServer to version 2.02 or later. If the product is no longer supported, migrate to an actively maintained web server solution and implement network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if IniNet embeddedWebServer is installed
    Search for web server processes or services on the system. Check common installation paths for web servers in SCADA/ICS environments. Look for service names containing 'eweb', 'inetweb', 'ininet', or 'scada web'.
    Affected if The software is present on the system and runs as a service or process
  2. Determine the installed version of embeddedWebServer
    Check the executable version information. Look for version metadata in the web server binary or check any version file in the installation directory. Compare your version against the 2.02 threshold.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 2.02 or the version cannot be determined (all versions prior to 2.02 are affected)
  3. Verify the HTTP service is exposed and listening
    Use netstat or similar tools to check if the web server is listening on any HTTP port (common ports include 80, 8080, 443). Confirm the service is reachable over the network.
    Affected if The HTTP service is listening and accessible from network paths
  4. Check for unusually long HTTP request handling
    Review any available access logs or network captures for HTTP requests with excessively long header values, cookie values, or URI parameters that may indicate exploitation attempts.
    Affected if Logs show long field values or potential exploitation activity
  5. Assess network exposure of the web server
    Determine if the SCADA/web server is directly accessible from untrusted networks. Check firewall rules and network segmentation around the ICS environment.
    Affected if The server is exposed to untrusted networks without proper network segmentation

The environment is affected if IniNet embeddedWebServer is running with a version below 2.02 and is network-accessible.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade embeddedWebServer to version 2.02 or later. If the product is no longer supported, migrate to an actively maintained web server solution and implement network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

2.02

  1. 1. Identify the current version of IniNet embeddedWebServer (eWebServer) installed in your environment
  2. 2. Obtain the fixed version 2.02 or later from the vendor (IniNet)
  3. 3. Before upgrading, backup all configuration files and web content
  4. 4. Stop the Scada Web Server service
  5. 5. Install version 2.02 of embeddedWebServer
  6. 6. Restore configuration files from backup if needed
  7. 7. Restart the Scada Web Server service
  8. 8. Verify the server is running and responsive
