CVE-2020-25162Network attack vector

Privilege escalation and data exposure via XPath injection

Published Apr 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

XPath injection in B. Braun SpaceCom, Battery-Pack SP with WiFi, and Data module compactplus allows remote attackers to read sensitive data. The administrative interface incorporates attacker-controlled input into an XPath expression without neutralizing XPath syntax. Network access is sufficient because authentication and user interaction are not required; published material does not identify the exposed data or explain the privilege-escalation path.
