CVE-2020-12007
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 · uneditedA specially crafted communication packet sent to the affected devices could allow remote code execution and a denial-of-service condition due to a deserialization vulnerability. This issue affects: Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 version 4.02C (10.95.208.31) and earlier, all versions; Mitsubishi Electric MC Works32 version 3.00A (9.50.255.02); ICONICS GenBroker64, Platform Services, Workbench, FrameWorX Server version 10.96 and prior; ICONICS GenBroker32 version 9.5 and prior.
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 confidenceA deserialization vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64, MC Works32, and ICONICS GenBroker64/32, Platform Services, Workbench, and FrameWorX Server allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and cause denial-of-service by sending specially crafted communication packets that exploit unsafe deserialization of untrusted data.

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.
-
Identify installed Mitsubishi MC Works64Check program files for MC Works64 installation directory or look for MC Works64 in installed programs listAffected if Version is 10.95.208.31 or lower
-
Identify installed Mitsubishi MC Works32Check program files for MC Works32 installation directory or look for MC Works32 in installed programs listAffected if Version is 9.50.255.02
-
Identify installed ICONICS productsLook for ICONICS software (Energy Analytix, Facility Analytix, Genesis64, Hyper Historian, Mobilehmi, Quality Analytix) in installed programsAffected if Any of these ICONICS products are installed (all versions are affected)
-
Check GenBroker service statusLook for GenBroker64 or GenBroker32 service in Windows services list or check for GenBroker process runningAffected if GenBroker service is running and exposed to network
You are affected if MC Works64 version <= 10.95.208.31, MC Works32 version 9.50.255.02, or any ICONICS product (Energy Analytix, Facility Analytix, Genesis64, Hyper Historian, Mobilehmi, Quality Analytix) is installed, and the GenBroker service is accessible to network attackers.

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 dataApply vendor-provided patches or updates to the affected software versions; until patches are available, implement network segmentation and restrict external access to affected services as compensating controls.
