Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Bentley MicroStation CONNECT version 10.16.0.80

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the parsing of TIF images due to the lack of proper initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For version 10.16.0.80, consider disabling the TIF image parsing functionality until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to potentially malicious files and websites to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
