CVE-2023-25547Network attack vector

Remote code execution via unauthorized package installation

Published Apr 18, 2023 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

Incorrect authorization in StruxureWare Data Center Expert 7.9.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The package upload and installation workflow accepts installation packages from low-privileged accounts without enforcing the required authorization. A low-privileged DCE account and network access to the package-management interface are required, and successful exploitation executes attacker-supplied code on the server.
