CVE-2023-37199Network attack vector

Remote code execution via tampered backup restoration

Published Jul 12, 2023 · Updated Nov 7, 2024

Code injection in Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert 7.9.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The backup restoration path restores administrator-tampered content without adequately controlling code generation; Schneider Electric has not identified the exact parser or function. Administrator access is required to alter the backup, and a separate manual restore must occur before the injected code executes on the DCE server.
