Delta Electronics DOPSoft 2 Improper Input Validation Vulnerability

Delta Electronics · DOPSoft 2

CVSS 7.8 EPSS 78% no public exploit indexed Fix deadline passed 15 September 2022

What it is

Delta Electronics DOPSoft 2 lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing specific project files (improper input validation) resulting in an out-of-bounds write that allows for code execution.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 78%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2022-09-15) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

The impacted product is end-of-life and should be disconnected if still in use.
