Application privilege escalation via writable credential database
Published Nov 11, 2025 · Updated Nov 11, 2025
Incorrect permissions in Siemens Spectrum Power 4 before V4.70 SP12 Update 2 allow local users to gain administrative application privileges. The local application-credentials database is writable by unintended actors, allowing its stored authentication data to be altered. Exploitation requires local access, high-complexity conditions, and active user interaction; the resulting access is limited to administrative application privileges.
