CVE-2024-10313
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 · uneditediniNet Solutions SpiderControl SCADA PC HMI Editor has a path traversal vulnerability. When the software loads a malicious ‘ems' project template file constructed by an attacker, it can write files to arbitrary directories. This can lead to overwriting system files, causing system paralysis, or writing to startup items, resulting in remote control.
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 confidenceiniNet Solutions SpiderControl SCADA PC HMI Editor contains a path traversal vulnerability in its .ems project template file loading mechanism. When the software parses a maliciously crafted .ems file, attackers can manipulate path sequences to write files to arbitrary directories outside the intended project folder.

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 SpiderControl SCADA HMI Editor installationCheck for the software in common installation directories (C:\Program Files\iniNet Solutions\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\iniNet Solutions\) or search for 'SpiderControl' in Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UninstallAffected if The software is installed on the system
-
Determine installed versionLocate the executable (typically SpiderControl SCADA PC HMI Editor.exe) and check its file properties, or check the Unins000.dat/uninstall.xml in the installation folder for the version stringAffected if The installed version matches the affected version range for CVE-2024-10313 (verify against vendor advisories)
-
Verify .ems file associationCheck Windows registry under HKCR\.ems or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.ems to see if .ems files are associated with SpiderControlAffected if The software is configured to open .ems files
-
Confirm .ems project template functionalityCheck if the software's project template loading feature is accessible (typically via File > Open or File > Import for .ems files)Affected if Users can load .ems project files directly into the software
-
Review recent .ems file accessExamine recent .ems files opened with the software, check browser/download history for .ems files, or review endpoint detection logs for .ems file activityAffected if Any .ems files from untrusted sources have been opened with this software
The system is affected if SpiderControl SCADA PC HMI Editor is installed and users have opened or could open maliciously crafted .ems files from untrusted sources, enabling path traversal file writes outside the project folder.

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 dataRestrict opening .ems files from untrusted sources and implement strict path validation that canonicalizes and validates all file write operations against allowlist directories before writing.
