TITLE

General Electric Digital Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY Vulnerability in changing service settings

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2016-003795

DESCRIPTION

General Electric (GE) Digital Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY before 8.2 SIM 27 mishandles service DACLs, which allows local users to modify a service configuration via unspecified vectors. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-284: Improper Access Control ( Inappropriate access control ) Has been identified. http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/284.htmlService settings may be changed by local users. GE Proficy HMI SCADA CIMPLICITY is a client/server based HMI/SCADA solution. GE Proficy HMI SCADA CIMPLICITY has a security vulnerability that allows a local attacker to exploit this vulnerability to increase privileges. This may aid in further attacks. GE Proficy HMI SCADA CIMPLICITY 8.2 SIM 26 and prior are vulnerable
