AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local authenticated user (PR:L, AV:L) abuses a world-writable kernel driver with low complexity to gain kernel read/write, yielding total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The installation of Fuji Tellus adds a driver to the kernel which grants all users read and write permissions.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Fuji Electric TELLUS 5.0.2 arises because its installer registers a kernel-mode driver with permissions that grant read and write access to all users. A low-privileged local user can therefore interact with a privileged driver interface to read or corrupt kernel-controlled data, undermining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC currently marks exploitation status as none.
Technical ContextAI
TELLUS is Fuji Electric's HMI/SCADA runtime and configuration software used with their programmable operator interface panels in operational-technology (OT) environments, identified here by cpe:2.3:a:fuji_electric:tellus. The flaw sits in a device driver installed into the Windows kernel whose object/access-control permissions are set to allow any authenticated user read and write access. This maps to CWE-749 (Exposed Dangerous Method or Function): a privileged driver exposes an interface to unprivileged callers without adequate access restriction, so operations intended only for SYSTEM/administrators become reachable by ordinary users. Because the driver runs in ring 0, misuse of its exposed functionality translates directly into kernel-level read/write primitives.
RemediationAI
Consult CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-132-01 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-132-01) for the vendor-supplied fixed version and apply the Fuji Electric update as the primary remediation; a specific patched version is not stated in the provided data, so treat patch status as available per advisory rather than a confirmed version number. Where an update cannot be applied immediately, the actionable compensating control is to tighten the driver object's access-control list so that read/write is restricted to SYSTEM and Administrators (removing the Everyone/Users grant) - this directly closes the exposed interface, though it may break TELLUS functionality that legitimately relies on the driver and should be validated in a test environment. Additionally, restrict interactive and local logon rights on HMI/engineering hosts to trusted operators only, since exploitation requires local access. Verify against NVD (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-8108) and VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/363482) as they are updated.
