CVE-2024-1595
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-B DOPSoft prior to v4.0.0.82 insecurely loads libraries, which may allow an attacker to use DLL hijacking and take over the system where the software is installed.
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 confidenceDelta Electronics CNCSoft-B DOPSoft versions prior to 4.0.0.82 contain a DLL hijacking vulnerability where the application insecurely loads libraries from the search path, allowing an attacker to place a malicious DLL in a location where the application will load it instead of the legitimate library, enabling arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the logged-on user.

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 DOPSoft versionOpen the application and navigate to Help > About, or check the executable file properties (right-click DOPSoft.exe > Properties > Details) for the version numberAffected if Version is less than 4.0.0.94
-
Identify installed CNCSoft-B versionOpen the application and navigate to Help > About, or check the executable file properties (right-click CNCSoft-B.exe > Properties > Details) for the version numberAffected if Version is 1.0.0.4 or lower
-
Check application directory permissionsRight-click the application installation folder (commonly C:\Program Files\Delta Electronics\ or C:\Delta), go to Properties > Security, and review which users have Write or Modify permissionsAffected if Non-admin users have Write or Modify access to the application directory
-
Inspect application directory for unexpected DLLsOpen the application installation folder and list all .dll files. Compare against known legitimate DLLs that ship with the software or check for recently added DLLs that do not match the software vendor naming conventionAffected if Unexpected DLL files are present, especially with recent modification dates or non-Delta naming
The environment is affected if DOPSoft version is below 4.0.0.94 or CNCSoft-B version is 1.0.0.4 or lower, and the application directory is writable by standard users or contains unfamiliar DLL 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 · scoped4.0.0.94
Upgrade to DOPSoft v4.0.0.82 or later which contains the fix for the insecure library loading. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, ensure the application directory is not writable by unprivileged users and remove any unnecessary DLLs from the application directory.
v4.0.0.82 or later
- 1. Identify all systems running Delta Electronics CNCSoft-B or DOPSoft software
- 2. Check the current version of the software installed on each system
- 3. Download the fixed version (v4.0.0.82 or later) from the official Delta Electronics vendor or authorized distributor
- 4. Verify the integrity of the downloaded installer using vendor-provided checksums if available
- 5. Back up any critical project files or configurations created with the software
- 6. Uninstall the vulnerable version from affected systems
- 7. Install the updated version (v4.0.0.82 or later) on all affected systems
- 8. Verify the installation was successful and the version is correct
