CVE-2024-27148Public exploit

Root code execution via writable PATH directories

Published Jun 14, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Incorrect permissions in Toshiba Tec e-STUDIO MFP firmware allow local users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. The firmware places world-writable bin and sbin directories before standard system directories in PATH, so a planted executable replaces an intended command when a root process resolves a bare program name. Local write access is sufficient; remote compromise requires chaining a separate file-upload flaw, and successful exploitation gives control of the printer without reported external data leakage.
