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 · unedited
Measuresoft ScadaPro Server (All Versions) allows use after free while processing a specific project 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 · moderate confidence

Measuresoft ScadaPro Server contains a use-after-free vulnerability when parsing project files. The vulnerability allows memory to be accessed after it has been freed during project file processing, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution or denial of service.

MitigationRestrict access to ScadaPro Server and validate all project files before opening. Contact Measuresoft for vendor patches as all versions are affected.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm ScadaPro Server installation
    Check for ScadaPro Server in installed programs (Windows: Programs and Features, Linux: package manager) or look for ScadaPro executables in common installation directories
    Affected if ScadaPro Server is found installed on the system
  2. Identify ScadaPro Server process
    Check running processes for ScadaPro Server or related service (look for process names containing 'scadapro' or 'measuresoft')
    Affected if A ScadaPro Server process is running or available to run
  3. Verify project file handling capability
    Check if the ScadaPro Server installation includes project file parsing modules (.scadapro, .spj, or similar project file extensions) and if the server is configured to accept or load project files
    Affected if Project file parsing modules exist and the server can load project files
  4. Check network exposure
    Review network configuration to determine if ScadaPro Server listens on network ports or accepts remote project file imports
    Affected if The server accepts project files from network sources or external input

If ScadaPro Server is installed and can process project files, the environment is affected since all versions contain the use-after-free vulnerability in project file parsing.
