CVE-2019-13544
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 · uneditedDelta Electronics TPEditor, Versions 1.94 and prior. Multiple out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities may be exploited by processing specially crafted project files, which may allow remote code execution.
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 confidenceMultiple out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in Delta Electronics TPEditor versions 1.94 and prior allow remote code execution when the software processes specially crafted malicious project files.

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 TPEditor installation directorySearch for TPEditor executable in common installation paths such as C:\Program Files\Delta Electronics\TPEditor or C:\Program Files (x86)\Delta Electronics\TPEditor, or use file search for tpeditor.exe across the systemAffected if TPEditor executable is found on the system
-
Determine installed TPEditor versionRight-click on tpeditor.exe, select Properties, and view the Version tab; alternatively, right-click and select Properties > Details to see Product VersionAffected if Reported version is 1.94 or any version number lower than 1.94 (for example, 1.93, 1.92, 1.0)
-
Verify version via Windows Programs and FeaturesOpen Control Panel > Programs and Features (or Settings > Apps > Apps & features on Windows 10/11), locate Delta Electronics TPEditor in the list, and note the version columnAffected if Version listed is 1.94 or earlier
-
Check for recent TPEditor usage indicatorsReview recent files accessed or temporary directories for .tp or project file extensions that TPEditor may create; examine browser download history or network logs for any received project filesAffected if Evidence shows TPEditor has been used to open project files from untrusted sources (this indicates potential exposure to the vulnerability)
The system is affected if TPEditor version 1.94 or lower is installed and the software has been used to process project files, as the out-of-bounds write vulnerability triggers during malicious file processing.

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 dataUpdate TPEditor to a version newer than 1.94; if immediate patching is not feasible, isolate affected systems from untrusted project files and implement file validation controls.
