Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs SICK AG SICK Incoming Goods Suite and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.

The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.
- SICK Incoming Goods Suite 1.0.0
- Summary
- A vulnerability in the Incoming Goods Suite allows a user with unprivileged access to the underlying system (e.g. local or via SSH) a privilege escalation to the administrative level due to the usage of component vendor Docker images running with root permissions. Exploiting this misconfiguration leads to the fact that an attacker can gain administrative control over the whole system.
- Remediation
- Customers are strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest release 1.1.0. In addition, we recommend running the Docker daemon and container runtime in rootless mode. It is necessary to set the DOCKER_USER_ID and the DOCKER_GROUP_ID in the environment. Then the Docker socket can run as a non-root user when setting the path DOCKER_SOCKET_PATH=/run/user/${DOCKER_USER_ID}/docker.sock.

What, why and how
A vulnerability in the Incoming Goods Suite allows a user with unprivileged access to the underlying system (e.g. local or via SSH) a privilege escalation to the administrative level due to the usage of component vendor Docker images running with root permissions. Exploiting this misconfiguration leads to the fact that an attacker can gain administrative control. over the whole system.
What
A vulnerability in the Incoming Goods Suite allows a user with unprivileged access to the underlying system (e.g. local or via SSH) a privilege escalation to the administrative level due to the usage of component vendor Docker images running with root permissions. Exploiting this misconfiguration leads to the fact that an attacker can gain administrative control. over the whole system.
Why
The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.
How
An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may gain additional privileges.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.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 None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.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 → Execution with Unnecessary Privileges → gain additional privileges
- Attack surface
- Local
- Privileges required
- Low: a basic authenticated account is required
- User interaction

- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-250 ↗
CWE-250: Execution with Unnecessary Privileges. The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.

CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity. CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCommon Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.
AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRLowPrivileges required: The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SChangedScope: The attack can affect a component governed by a different security authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.- 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.

Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.
- Status
?
Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change. - Patch available
- Affected
- SICK Incoming Goods Suite 1.0.0
- Action
- Customers are strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest release 1.1.0. In addition, we recommend running the Docker daemon and container runtime in rootless mode. It is necessary to set the DOCKER_USER_ID and the DOCKER_GROUP_ID in the environment. Then the Docker socket can run as a non-root user when setting the path DOCKER_SOCKET_PATH=/run/user/${DOCKER_USER_ID}/docker.sock.
- Workaround
- No verified workaround is recorded. Limit untrusted access and use least privilege until authoritative guidance is available.
