Official Description

The CIMPLICITY Web-based access component, CimWebServer, does not check

the location of shell files being loaded into the system. By modifying

the source location, an attacker could send shell code to the

CimWebServer which would deploy the nefarious files as part of any SCADA

project. This could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code.
