Administrative privilege escalation via incorrect binary permissions
Published Nov 11, 2025 · Updated Nov 11, 2025
Privilege escalation in Siemens Spectrum Power 4 before 4.70 SP12 Update 2 allows local users to gain operating system administrator privileges. An unnamed application binary is installed with permissions that incorrectly let a low-privileged local account use its elevated execution context. Siemens has not disclosed the binary name or exact permission bits; exploitation requires existing low-privileged local access and grants operating system administrator control.
