CVE-2021-22672
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' CNCSoft ScreenEditor in versions prior to v1.01.30 could allow the corruption of data, a denial-of-service condition, or code execution. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
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 · moderate confidenceDelta Electronics CNCSoft ScreenEditor prior to v1.01.30 contains a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to corrupt data, cause a denial-of-service condition, or execute arbitrary code. The exact vulnerability type and attack vector are not specified in available documentation, though the CVSS score of 7.8 (HIGH) with Local attack vector suggests exploitation requires local access to the system running the affected software.

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.
-
Verify if CNCSoft ScreenEditor is installedCheck system for presence of Delta Electronics CNCSoft ScreenEditor software - look in Program Files, Program Files (x86), or the application's default installation directoryAffected if CNCSoft ScreenEditor is found on the system
-
Determine the installed version of CNCSoft ScreenEditorLocate the executable or check the application's About/Properties section to find the exact version numberAffected if Version is lower than 1.01.30 or cannot be determined (treat as vulnerable)
-
Confirm the vulnerable version rangeCompare your installed version against the affected range: versions prior to 1.01.30Affected if Installed version is < 1.01.30
-
Assess local access contextNote that exploitation requires local access to the system - consider who has physical or console access to the machine running this softwareAffected if Untrusted local users have access to the system with the software installed
Your environment is affected if CNCSoft ScreenEditor is installed and the installed version is lower than 1.01.30.

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 data1.01.30
Upgrade CNCSoft ScreenEditor to version 1.01.30 or later. In the interim, restrict access to the system running ScreenEditor, limit user privileges, and avoid opening untrusted project files.
