CVE-2022-41671

Local code execution via migration SQL injection

Published Nov 4, 2022 · Updated May 1, 2025

SQL injection in EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert and Pro-face BLUE 3.3 Hotfix 1 and earlier allows local users to execute code. During project migration, attacker-controlled SQL is executed without neutralizing SQL command elements. Local user privileges and access to a Windows engineering workstation are required; exploitation compromises the runtime workstation's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
