HarborGuard Analysis
Synopsis
A classic buffer overflow vulnerability affects the Web Integration Service component of RTI Connext Professional. The flaw is reachable over the network without any authentication, meaning a remote attacker can send a specially crafted input that overwrites adjacent memory. Successful exploitation causes a high-impact availability disruption to the service, while also enabling limited reads and writes to the affected process memory. Patched-image rebuilds at versions 6.1.*, 7.*, and 7.3.1.3 are available on HarborGuard for environments running an affected version.
HarborGuard Coverage
Detection is available across every HarborGuard environment: the CVE is ingested from upstream feeds within minutes of publication and matched against customer images in registries and CI/CD pipelines, including internally built images that bundle RTI Connext Professional. Affected version ranges (Connext Professional from 7.4.0 before 7.*, from 7.0.0 before 7.3.1.3, and from 6.1.2 before 6.1.*) are resolved against each image's installed package manifest automatically.
AvailableTriage is available with a CVSS v4.0 score of 8.8 (HIGH), surfaced alongside each customer org's compliance policy weighting so higher-risk environments can be escalated appropriately. Findings are routable to the correct team inbox based on per-environment policy configuration.
AvailableA patched-image rebuild targeting the fix versions (6.1.*, 7.*, and 7.3.1.3) becomes available on HarborGuard as soon as a base image containing one of those versions is resolvable. For customers with auto-remediation enabled, HarborGuard performs the rebuild, runs a regression test pass, and opens a pull request against affected workloads automatically.
AvailableExploit Conditions
- Network reachabilityRequired
The vulnerable Web Integration Service is exposed over the network; an attacker must be able to reach it remotely to send the malformed input.
- AuthenticationNot required
No credentials or prior authentication are needed to trigger the overflow (PR:N).
- Victim interactionNot required
The overflow is triggered entirely by attacker-controlled network input; no user action is required (UI:N).
- Attack complexityDetail
Exploit conditions are straightforward with no race conditions or environment-specific prerequisites required (AC:L, AT:N).
Blast Radius
- Crashes or hangs the Web Integration Service, disrupting DDS-to-web communication for dependent applications (VA:H).
- Reads a limited portion of the affected process's memory, potentially exposing in-flight message content or internal state (VC:L).
- Writes a limited amount of data into adjacent memory within the affected process, with potential to corrupt internal buffers or control structures (VI:L).
- Impact is contained to the local component; no confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact to systems outside the affected host is indicated (SC:N, SI:N, SA:N).
How HarborGuard Handles This
Available on HarborGuard: detection fires within minutes of CVE publication against any image carrying a vulnerable Connext Professional build (versions from 6.1.2 before 6.1.*, from 7.0.0 before 7.3.1.3, and from 7.4.0 before 7.*). Where compliance policy permits, a patched-image rebuild at one of the fix versions is queued automatically. For customers with auto-remediation enabled, HarborGuard handles the full remediation loop: rebuild, regression test run, and a pull request opened against affected workloads; median time from CVE publication to merged patch PR for high-severity issues is around 90 minutes in these environments. Until a rebuild is deployed, compensating controls such as network-policy rules restricting external access to the Web Integration Service port and egress filtering on the host can reduce exposure to this unauthenticated network vector.
