System privilege escalation via writable application content
Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Privilege escalation in SICK Overall Equipment Effectiveness 0.5.1 allows local users to gain system privileges via writable application content. System-privileged OEE services operate from installation content that lower-privileged users can modify; SICK has not identified the loaded file or path. Exploitation requires local write access to a non-default, weakly protected installation directory; the default Program Files path restricts writes to administrators and system.
