CWE-430
Weakness AllowedDeployment of Wrong Handler
Abstraction: Base · Status: Incomplete
The wrong "handler" is assigned to process an object or request.
Dimensions
- Behavior-Type: Deployment
- Code-Type: Handler
- Code-Property: Wrong
Mapping guidance
This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
Relationships and members
Modes of introduction
This can happen when the product automatically "determines" the type of the object even if it is contradictory to an explicitly specified type.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-10 21:31 – Updated: 2025-07-10 21:31The Honeywell Experion PKS
and OneWireless WDM
contains a Deployment of Wrong Handler
vulnerability
in the component Control Data Access (CDA). An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to
Input Data Manipulation,
which could result in incorrect handling of packets leading to remote code execution.
Honeywell recommends updating to the most recent version of Honeywell Experion PKS:520.2 TCU9 HF1 and 530.1 TCU3 HF1 and OneWireless: 322.5 and 331.1.
The affected Experion PKS products are C300 PCNT02, C300 PCNT05, FIM4, FIM8, UOC, CN100, HCA, C300PM, and C200E. The Experion PKS versions affected are from 520.1 through 520.2 TCU9 and from 530 through 530 TCU3. The OneWireless WDM affected versions are 322.1 through 322.4 and 330.1 through 330.3.

CAPEC-11: Cause Web Server Misclassification
An attack of this type exploits a Web server's decision to take action based on filename or file extension. Because different file types are handled by different server processes, misclassification may force the Web server to take unexpected action, or expected actions in an unexpected sequence. This may cause the server to exhaust resources, supply debug or system data to the attacker, or bind an attacker to a remote process.
