CVE-2024-12742 is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) in NI G Web Development Software that can lead to arbitrary code execution. The issue affects G Web Development Software 2022 Q3 and prior versions. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and was published on 2025-03-06.
Exploitation requires an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted project file, as the attack vector is local with low complexity and no privileges required, though user interaction is necessary. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution on the affected system, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The official NI security advisory provides details on available critical and security updates for mitigation: https://www.ni.com/en/support/security/available-critical-and-security-updates-for-ni-software/deserialization-of-untrusted-data-vulnerability-in-ni-g-web-deve.html.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can uncover deserialization flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops deserialization of untrusted data by ensuring inputs are valid before processing.
Engineering principles such as safe deserialization and input sanitization structurally prevent the weakness from being introduced.
Integrity verification tools can detect malformed or tampered serialized data after the fact.

PR.PS-02 addresses only post-deployment updates/patching and cannot prevent introduction of unsafe deserialization code, yet it can remediate some instances when the flaw exists in outdated libraries or components.
