NVD · uneditedFuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT is vulnerable to a type confusion, which could cause a crash or code execution.
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 confidenceFuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT (human-machine interface software) contains a type confusion vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the application or achieve code execution. The vulnerability stems from improper type handling in the V-SFT software, which processes visualization data for industrial control systems.

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.
-
Confirm Fuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT is installedCheck the system for Monitouch V-SFT software by reviewing installed programs in Windows Add/Remove Programs, or check common installation directories such as C:\Program Files\Fuji Electric or C:\Program Files (x86)\Fuji Electric. Look for folders containing 'V-SFT' or 'Monitouch' in the name.Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Identify the installed V-SFT versionOpen the Monitouch V-SFT application and navigate to Help > About, or right-click the V-SFT executable file in the installation folder, select Properties, and check the Version tab. Alternatively, locate a version.txt or readme.txt file in the installation directory.Affected if The version displayed is lower than 6.2.3.0 or the version cannot be determined (unknown)
-
Verify the HMI project is actively processing visualization dataCheck if the V-SFT runtime or editor is currently running, or if there are active project files (.vsf or similar) loaded on the system. Review the application's runtime status or project configuration.Affected if The application is running or has loaded a project file, as the vulnerability affects the processing of visualization data
The system is affected if Fuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT is installed and the identified version is below 6.2.3.0, with the application processing visualization data.

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 · scoped6.2.3.0
Apply vendor-supplied patches or updates for Monitouch V-SFT when available. If no patch exists, implement network segmentation to isolate the HMI from untrusted networks and restrict access to management interfaces.
Monitouch V SFT version 6.2.3.0 or later
- 1. Verify the current version of Monitouch V SFT installed on the system
- 2. Obtain the fixed version (6.2.3.0 or later) from the official Fuji Electric distribution channel or support website
- 3. Create a backup of the current project configuration and any relevant data
- 4. Disconnect the HMI from any production network before performing the upgrade
- 5. Install Monitouch V SFT version 6.2.3.0 or later following the vendor's installation instructions
- 6. After installation, verify the new version is correctly installed
- 7. Test the application functionality in a staging environment before reconnecting to production
- 8. Reconnect to production network only after successful validation
