Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22), which allows attackers to access files and directories outside the intended path. LCDS LAquis SCADA through 4.3.1.1085 is vulnerable to a control bypass and path traversal. If an attacker can get a victim to load a malicious els project file and use the play feature, then the attacker can bypass a consent popup and write arbitrary files to OS locations where the user has permission, leading to code execution. Affected products include: Laquisscada Scada. Version information: through 4.3.1.1085.

Attack Technique
Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
