CVE-2011-0488

CWE-119Published: January 18, 2011· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

10.0

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in NTWebServer.exe in the test web service in InduSoft NTWebServer, as distributed in Advantech Studio 6.1 and InduSoft Web Studio 7.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long request to TCP port 80.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2011-0488 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
