CVE-2025-59094

SYSTEM code execution via arbitrary scheduled executable

Published Jan 26, 2026 · Updated Jan 26, 2026

Local privilege escalation in dormakaba Kaba exos 9300 allows local users with exos administrator access to execute code as SYSTEM. The d9sysdef.exe Automatic program starts feature accepts an arbitrary executable path, and R9Autop.exe launches it on schedule under its SYSTEM token. Exploitation requires local access and valid exos administrator credentials; the consequence is unrestricted code execution with Windows SYSTEM privileges.
