AVID-2026-R1387
Description
Dependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component exposes Vulnerabilities in NI Vision Software (CVE-2024-12740)
Details
Vision related software from NI used a third-party library for image processing that exposes several vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities may result in arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to get a user to open a specially crafted file.
Reason for inclusion in AVID: CVE-2024-12740 describes a vulnerability in NI Vision software caused by a vulnerable third-party image-processing library, enabling arbitrary code execution when a user opens a crafted file. NI Vision components (e.g., Vision Development Module, Vision Acquisition Software) can be used in AI data capture/processing pipelines, making this a software supply-chain issue relevant to general-purpose AI systems. The report provides explicit CVE details, affected artifacts, and CVSS metrics, offering sufficient evidence for AVID curation.
