What to do
AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected functionality to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity involving the DWR "DataSourceEditDwr" class. Avoid exposing the vulnerable interface to untrusted networks.
Description
ScadaLTS version 2.8.1-release-candidate build 0 contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability due to a scripting sandbox bypass. The vulnerability arises from the DWR "DataSourceEditDwr" class's "validateScript" method, which executes attacker-supplied JavaScript without authorization checks. This allows a low privilege authenticated user to execute arbitrary code remotely.
