Privilege escalation via malicious URL token compromise
Published Jan 28, 2022 · Updated Sep 8, 2025
Cross-site scripting in affected Schneider Electric Rack PDU NMC2 and NMC3 firmware allows attackers to gain elevated access. A crafted malicious URL causes the management interface to expose a privileged account's security token when that account follows the link. Exploitation requires low-privilege access and privileged-user interaction; affected ranges are NMC2 6.9.6 and earlier, AP7xxx and AP8xxx NMC3 1.1.0.3 and earlier, and APDU9xxx NMC3 1.0.0.28 and earlier.
