CVE-2012-0229

CVE-2012-0229 describes a critical vulnerability in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian 4.5 and earlier, specifically within the Data Archiver service (ihDataArchiver.exe and ihDataArchiver_x64.exe). This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause a denial of service through memory corruption or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending crafted sessions to TCP port 14000. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it represents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
