Official Description
In AzeoTech DAQFactory versions 21.1 and prior, a Use After Free vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker using specially crafted .ctl files which can result in code execution.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-12921 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (A) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-416): Use-after-free vulnerabilities involve accessing memory after it has been freed, often enabling arbitrary code execution.
