CVE-2023-1548

Local service denial via undisclosed privilege failure

Published Apr 18, 2023 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

Improper privilege management in EcoStruxure Control Expert V15.1 before 16.0 allows local users to stop the Console Server service. Schneider Electric has not published the failing operation or attacker-controlled input in the Console Server privilege-management path. Low-privilege local access is required, and exploitation interrupts that service without reported data disclosure or modification.
