CVE-2018-10602
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 · uneditedWECON LeviStudio Versions 1.8.29 and 1.8.44 have multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited when the application processes specially crafted project files.
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 confidenceWECON LeviStudio versions 1.8.29 and 1.8.44 contain multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the project file parsing logic. When the application processes specially crafted malicious project files, the buffer overflow can corrupt stack memory, potentially allowing an attacker to achieve remote code execution or cause denial of service.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate LeviStudio installationSearch for LeviStudio in program directories (typically C:\Program Files\WECON or C:\Program Files (x86)\WECON) or check Start Menu shortcutsAffected if LeviStudio is installed on the system
-
Identify LeviStudio versionRight-click the LeviStudio executable (LeviStudio.exe), select Properties, then view the Details tab for Version information; or launch LeviStudio and check Help > AboutAffected if The displayed version is exactly 1.8.29 or exactly 1.8.44
-
Confirm project file handling capabilityCheck if LeviStudio can open or process project files (.levi, .prj, or similar extensions) by examining the software's file open dialog or recent filesAffected if LeviStudio is capable of opening and parsing project files
-
Determine exposure to untrusted project filesReview any project files present on the system that were obtained from external sources, network shares, or unverified locationsAffected if The system has LeviStudio installed AND processes project files from untrusted or external sources
A system is affected if LeviStudio versions 1.8.29 or 1.8.44 are installed and the software is used to open project files, particularly from untrusted sources.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRestrict usage of LeviStudio to only open trusted project files from verified sources; network segment any systems running this software in industrial environments; apply any vendor patches when available.
