CVE-2022-26302
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 · uneditedHeap-based buffer overflow exists in the simulator module contained in the graphic editor 'V-SFT' versions prior to v6.1.6.0, which may allow an attacker to obtain information and/or execute arbitrary code by having a user to open a specially crafted image file.
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 heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the simulator module of V-SFT graphic editor versions prior to v6.1.6.0. The vulnerability is triggered when a user opens a specially crafted malicious image file, potentially allowing an attacker to read sensitive information from heap memory or achieve arbitrary code execution.

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.
-
Check if V-SFT is installedLook for the Fujielectric V-SFT application in the system Program Files directory, or check for V-SFT entries in the Windows Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fujielectric or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\FujielectricAffected if V-SFT is found on the system
-
Determine the installed V-SFT versionOpen V-SFT and navigate to Help > About, or locate the main executable (typically named VSFT.exe or similar) and view its file properties to find the version numberAffected if The displayed version falls within the range >= 6.0.0.0 and < 6.1.6.0
-
Verify the simulator module is presentCheck for the simulator module component within the V-SFT installation directory, typically found in a subfolder named 'Simulator' or 'Sim' containing simulator-related DLL or executable filesAffected if The simulator module files exist in the V-SFT installation folder
-
Confirm the simulator is accessible to usersCheck user permissions on the simulator module files and verify that standard users can launch and interact with the simulator functionality through the V-SFT interfaceAffected if Users have access to open and use the simulator module with image files
The environment is affected if V-SFT version 6.0.0.0 through 6.1.5.x is installed and the simulator module is accessible to users who could open untrusted image files.

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.
dbcve · scoped6.1.6.0
Upgrade V-SFT to version 6.1.6.0 or later. Until the upgrade is applied, refrain from opening image files from untrusted sources.
v6.1.6.0
- 1. Identify the currently installed version of V-SFT graphic editor
- 2. Confirm the installed version is within the affected range: >= 6.0.0.0 and < 6.1.6.0
- 3. Obtain the fixed version v6.1.6.0 or later from the official vendor (Fuji Electric monitouch)
- 4. Apply the upgrade following vendor-provided installation instructions
- 5. Verify the installed version is now v6.1.6.0 or higher
