CVE-2024-9002

Local privilege escalation via binary tampering

Published Oct 11, 2024 · Updated Oct 11, 2024

Improper privilege management in Schneider Electric Easergy Studio 9.3.1 and earlier allows local users to elevate privileges. The installation directory permits unauthorized access that lets a non-administrator account tamper with program binaries executed at higher privilege. File-system access under that account is required; successful tampering grants elevated workstation control, including data access and service interruption.
