Service interruption via privileged arbitrary file deletion
Published Nov 15, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Arbitrary file deletion in AVEVA Operations Control Logger allows local users to delete files with SYSTEM privilege, causing service interruption. AVEVA has not disclosed the code-level locus or how the logger accepts the externally controlled path used by its privileged deletion operation. A standard OS-authenticated account on an affected host is required; deletion can deny service, with no vendor-reported confidentiality impact.
