SCALANCE LPE9403 BackupManager Local Priv Esc <V4.0 HF0
CVE-2025-40574 Published on May 13, 2025
A vulnerability has been identified in SCALANCE LPE9403 (6GK5998-3GS00-2AC2) (All versions < V4.0 HF0). Affected devices do not properly assign permissions to critical ressources. This could allow a non-privileged local attacker to interact with the backupmanager service.
Weakness Type
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors. When a resource is given a permissions setting that provides access to a wider range of actors than required, it could lead to the exposure of sensitive information, or the modification of that resource by unintended parties. This is especially dangerous when the resource is related to program configuration, execution or sensitive user data.
