CVE-2022-0223Network attack vector

Code execution via critical-file path traversal

Published Jan 30, 2023 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

Path traversal in Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Power Commission before 2.22 allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted paths. The unnamed path-handling locus fails to confine attacker-controlled paths and can create or overwrite program or library files outside the intended directory. Exploitation is unauthenticated but requires user interaction; successful file replacement causes code execution when the altered program or library is loaded.
