View CSAF 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v3 7.8 ATTENTION: Low Attack Complexity Vendor: Schneider Electric Equipment: Vijeo Designer Vulnerability: Improper Privilege Management 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could cause a non-admin authenticated user to perform privilege escalation by tampering with the binaries. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS Schneider Electric reports that the following products are affected: Schneider Electric Vijeo Designer: All versions prior to 6.3 SP1 3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW 3.2.1 IMPROPER PRIVILEGE MANAGEMENT CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management vulnerabilities exist that could cause unauthorized access, loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the workstation if non-admin authenticated users try to perform privilege escalation by tampering with the binaries. CVE-2024-8306 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV...

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigations might apply in your situation: Set the **LmCompatabilityLvl** to its maximum value (5) for all machines. This will prevent the usage of the older NTLMv1 protocol, while still allowing NTLMv2. Please see Network security: LAN Manager authentication level for more information.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs physical access to the victim's machine.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass Office macro policies used to block untrusted or malicious files.

The security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-50603, which rates 10 out of 10 on the CVSS scale, enables unauthenticated remote code execution on affected systems, which cyberattackers are using to plant malware.

Threat actors are targeting people searching for pirated or cracked software with fake downloaders that include infostealing malware such as Lumma and Vidar.
