Unauthenticated system takeover via default privileged credentials
Published Oct 17, 2022 · Updated May 10, 2025
Improper access control in multiple TRUMPF products allows remote attackers to gain full system access through default privileged Windows credentials. The installers create privileged local Windows users with vendor-default usernames and passwords instead of requiring deployment-specific credentials. Network reachability to a Windows login surface is sufficient; successful use of a default account grants its full system privileges.
