Privilege escalation in Inductive Automation Ignition 8.1.53 and earlier allows any authenticated user who can execute gateway scripts to create SCADA/HMI projects without restriction, because the Gateway 'Create Project Role(s)' setting shipped with a blank default - effectively disabling the access control gate entirely. In industrial control system (ICS) environments, unauthorized project creation is operationally significant: projects define the logic, tags, and screens that interact with physical process equipment. Ignition 8.1.54 closes the gap by restricting project creation to Designer sessions, removing reliance on the misconfigured role setting. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation in JAL Information Technology's Pallet Control suite (including PalletControl and PalletControl Cloud) enables a low-privileged local attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges due to incorrect default installation permissions (CWE-276). All tracked versions across three CPE entries are listed as affected per JPCERT/CC coordination notice JVN#84094853. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Privilege escalation in Rockwell Automation's Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RMConfigTool.exe) enables a local standard user to execute arbitrary code with Administrator or SYSTEM privileges via DLL search order hijacking. The tool searches system PATH directories for required DLLs, and one or more of those directories have incorrect default permissions allowing write access by non-privileged accounts; if a malicious DLL is planted there before an administrator runs the tool, it loads into the elevated process. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though the underlying technique is well-understood and commonly leveraged in post-exploitation privilege escalation chains.
DLL hijacking in Rockwell Automation's Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RM3ConfigTool.exe) allows a local low-privileged attacker to escalate to Administrator or SYSTEM privileges by planting a malicious DLL in a writable system PATH directory before an administrator launches the utility. The root cause is CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions): the installer grants standard users write access to one or more directories that RM3ConfigTool.exe searches at runtime for a required DLL, enabling the classic DLL planting technique. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, and this CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog.
Insecure default file permissions in the openssl_encrypt desktop GUI (jahlives/openssl_encrypt, all versions before 1.4.9) expose decrypted plaintext output files to any unprivileged local user on multi-user systems. Any co-resident local account can read sensitive plaintext written by the GUI without requiring elevated privileges or exploiting any authentication mechanism. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; a vendor-confirmed patch is available at version 1.4.9.
Privilege escalation to SYSTEM in SKYSEA Client View and SKYMEC IT Manager (Sky Co., Ltd.) affects any Windows host where these IT management agents are installed. The root cause is CWE-276 - incorrect default permissions set on installation artifacts - allowing any authenticated local Windows user to plant or replace code that a SYSTEM-level service component subsequently executes. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are confirmed at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 and zero attack complexity barriers make this a credible priority for organizations running these products in multi-user or shared-workstation environments.
Insecure file creation in RansomLook (≤ 2.0.0) exposes the Flask session-signing secret to any local OS user with read access to the application home directory, enabling complete authentication bypass. The secret key governs Flask session cookie signing and the legacy API-key derivation function; possession of it allows an attacker to forge valid session cookies and impersonate any user, including administrators. In LDAP-configured deployments, exploitation is especially direct because the session user loader accepts arbitrary usernames without verifying their existence against any user store. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Incorrect Default Permissions in Dell Command Update (DCU) exposes a local privilege escalation path on all versions prior to 5.7.1, allowing a low-privileged authenticated user to gain unauthorized read and write access to filesystem resources owned or managed by DCU. The flaw stems from overly permissive ACLs set during installation, consistent with CWE-276, and carries a CVSS 7.8 High rating reflecting full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Privilege escalation in Lenovo Dock Manager allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting improper file or directory permissions (CWE-276). The flaw was identified during Lenovo's own internal security assessment, suggesting proactive vendor discovery rather than external researcher or attacker-driven disclosure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the local-only attack vector (AV:L, PR:L) meaningfully constrains real-world exposure compared to network-exploitable vulnerabilities, though enterprise environments with shared Lenovo workstations should treat this as a genuine privilege escalation risk.
Privilege escalation in Microsoft PowerShell 7.4.x, 7.5.x, and 7.6.x stems from incorrect default permissions (CWE-276), enabling a locally authenticated low-privilege attacker to gain full system control. Exploitation requires local shell access and a user interaction trigger - an already-privileged user or process must execute PowerShell after the attacker has tampered with an incorrectly permissioned file or directory. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been identified; SSVC confirms exploitation status as none and the attack is not automatable. Microsoft has released patched versions across all three affected branches.
