DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability exists in SYS600 which allows any user authenticated to the operating system of the server hosting the application to read and modify application objects without being authenticated to the SYS600 system itself.

Only the SYS600 system users should be permitted to view and modify application objects.

AnalysisAI

Broken application-layer authentication in Hitachi Energy MicroSCADA SYS600 allows any user with an operating system account on the hosting server to read and modify SYS600 application objects without possessing SYS600 credentials. Because the application relies on OS-level authentication rather than enforcing its own access controls (CWE-303), the SYS600 authentication boundary is effectively bypassed for all local OS users. …
