SYSTEM code execution via hard-coded MySQL credentials
Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Use of hard-coded credentials in Voltronic Power ViewPower Pro 2.0-22165 allows local users to execute code as SYSTEM through MySQL. The MySQL instance configuration embeds reusable database credentials that low-privileged local code can recover and use to access the privileged service. Low-privileged code execution on the host is required, and successful exploitation elevates code execution to the SYSTEM account.
