Official Description

Windows OS can be configured to overlay a “language bar” on top of any application. When this OS functionality is enabled, the OS language bar UI will be viewable in the browser alongside the AVEVA InTouch Access Anywhere and Plant SCADA Access Anywhere applications. It is possible to manipulate the Windows OS language bar to launch an OS command prompt, resulting in a context-escape from application into OS.

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

The vulnerability arises when the Windows OS language bar is configured to overlay on top of any application. An attacker can manipulate the language bar to launch an OS command prompt, escaping the application's context and gaining control over the underlying operating system. This can result in unauthorized access, data manipulation, and potential system compromise.
