Insecure Permissions in SICAM PAS/PQS by Siemens

CVE-2023-45205

What is CVE-2023-45205?

A significant vulnerability has been identified in SICAM PAS/PQS software, affecting all versions from V8.00 to just below V8.20. The issue arises from insecure file and folder permissions within the application, which may allow an authenticated local attacker to inject arbitrary code. This exploitation could lead to an elevated privilege scenario, potentially granting the attacker access to the NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM level, thereby compromising the security integrity of the affected system. It is crucial for users of these versions to evaluate their configurations and apply appropriate mitigations to safeguard against potential exploitation.
