1 known affected
The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.
TIA Administrator
Summary
The affected component creates temporary download files in a directory with insecure permissions. This could allow any authenticated attacker on Windows to disrupt the update process.
Remediation
Update to V3 SP2 or later version

01
What, why and how
A vulnerability has been identified in TIA Administrator (All versions < V3 SP2). The affected component creates temporary download files in a directory with insecure permissions. This could allow any authenticated attacker on Windows to disrupt the update process.
What
A vulnerability has been identified in TIA Administrator (All versions < V3 SP2). The affected component creates temporary download files in a directory with insecure permissions. This could allow any authenticated attacker on Windows to disrupt the update process.
Why
The product creates a temporary file in a directory whose permissions allow unintended actors to determine the file's existence or otherwise access that file.
How
An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation ?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No confirmed evidence
No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material ?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.None recorded
No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
Likely attack path
local access → Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Weakness ?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-379: Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions. The product creates a temporary file in a directory whose permissions allow unintended actors to determine the file's existence or otherwise access that file.
CVSS vector ?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System 4.0: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

Post-exploitation / living off the land
The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.

De kwetsbaarheden stellen een kwaadwillende mogelijk in staat aanvallen uit te voeren die kunnen leiden tot de volgende categorieën schade:
- Denial-of-Service (DoS)
- Manipulatie van gegevens
- Omzeilen van beveiligingsmaatregel
- (Remote) code execution (Administrator/Root rechten)
- (Remote) code execution (Gebruikersrechten)
- Toegang tot systeemgegevens
- Verhoogde gebruikersrechten
De kwaadwillende heeft hiervoor toegang nodig tot de productieomgeving. Het is goed gebruik een dergelijke omgeving niet publiek toegankelijk te hebben.
