About this tag
VT-Designer is an engineering and HMI utility from INVT used in industrial and building automation environments. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight high-severity remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in VT-Designer and the related HMITool, stemming from file-parsing flaws in crafted project or VPM files. These flaws can lead to out-of-bounds writes and type-confusion conditions, allowing arbitrary code execution on Windows engineering stations. CISA advisories (ICSA-25-238-01) urge immediate review and mitigation. The tag covers security advisories, vulnerability disclosures, and mitigation strategies for VT-Designer, particularly in operational technology contexts.
