Deserialization of Untrusted Data in ibaPDA and ibaDatCoordinator

IdentifiersCVE-2026-8024CWE-502

CVE-2026-8024 is a critical remote deserialization vulnerability affecting ibaPDA before 8.14.0 and ibaDatCoordinator before 4.0.7. According to the provided content, both products unsafely deserialize client-server input using the .NET BinaryFormatter, resulting in deserialization of untrusted data and potential type confusion. A remote attacker can send crafted serialized data to the exposed service and trigger arbitrary code execution without authentication or user interaction. The issue affects industrial data acquisition and automation environments using these iba products.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution on the affected host under the context of the vulnerable service account, leading to full system compromise. The provided content states that a remote, unauthenticated attacker may gain full access to affected systems, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and possible privilege escalation depending on the service account's privileges.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, restrict connections to localhost where feasible, tighten Windows Firewall rules for the iba client/server components, and keep the affected services off untrusted networks. More generally, prevent exposure of the vulnerable service interfaces to untrusted remote clients until patched.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade ibaPDA to version 8.14.0 or later and ibaDatCoordinator to version 4.0.7 or later. The content indicates that iba has released patched versions addressing the unsafe .NET BinaryFormatter deserialization behavior. Applying the vendor-provided updates is the primary remediation.
