CVE-2026-22914Network attack vector

Authenticated file write via undisclosed AppEngine authorization flaw

Published Jan 15, 2026 · Updated Jan 15, 2026

Incorrect privilege assignment in SICK TDC-X401GL all versions allows remote authenticated users to write files on the device. SICK identifies AppEngine as the exposed component but has not disclosed the endpoint, file paths, or missing authorization check that permits the write. Low-privileged network access is required; successful exploitation changes files only at specific locations, with no reported read access or service interruption.
