CVE-2024-41171

Local privilege escalation via executable script permissions

Published Sep 10, 2024 · Updated Sep 10, 2024

Incorrect permissions in Siemens SINUMERIK 828D, 840D sl, and ONE allow local users to gain elevated system privileges. Affected devices fail to enforce access restrictions on scripts that the system regularly executes with elevated privileges. Exploitation requires an authenticated local account and permits that account to perform actions with the elevated privileges assigned to those scripts.
