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
Horner Automation Cscape version 10.0 (10.0.415.2) SP1 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could allow an attacker to disclose information and execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Cscape.

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

Horner Automation Cscape version 10.0 (10.0.415.2) SP1 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in its parsing/processing logic. This memory safety flaw allows attackers to read beyond allocated buffer boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive memory contents and achieving arbitrary code execution on affected systems.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches or updates for Cscape version 10.0 SP1. If no patch is available, restrict access to Cscape to trusted personnel only and avoid opening untrusted project files or inputs.

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. Locate installed Cscape version
    Open Cscape and navigate to Help > About, or check the Windows Programs and Features list for the installed version
    Affected if Version shows as 10.0.415.2 SP1 (or any 10.0.x variant prior to patch)
  2. Confirm exact build number
    In Cscape, go to Help > About and note the full version string displayed (typically shows as 10.0.415.2 SP1 or similar)
    Affected if Build number matches 10.0.415.2 exactly, indicating the vulnerable release
  3. Identify patch status
    Check Horner Automation support website or release notes for any security patches addressing CVE-2025-4098
    Affected if No patch has been applied and version remains at 10.0.415.2 SP1

User is affected if Cscape version 10.0.415.2 SP1 is installed and no vendor security patch has been applied.
