Impact

The vulnerability is an improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command, classified as CWE‑88. It allows an attacker who has a privileged account to inject arbitrary arguments into backup configuration parameters. If the attacker supplies malicious arguments, the underlying system may execute those arguments as commands, resulting in full remote code execution. This could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data center infrastructure, potentially affecting all users and services that rely on it.

Affected Systems

Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure™ IT Data Center Expert platform is affected. The advisory does not specify individual firmware or software build numbers, but all deployments of this product line are considered vulnerable until a vendor correction is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 8.6 categorises the issue as high severity. EPSS data is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified, but the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The attack strongly relies on the attacker having privileged access to the configuration interface and the ability to supply custom backup configuration parameters. Thus, the primary threat vector is privileged local/remote configuration manipulation, and the consequence of a successful exploit is remote code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Contact Schneider Electric to obtain an official patch or update for EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert.
  • Apply the vendor‑provided fix or update the platform immediately once released.
  • Limit privileged access to the configuration interface and enforce least‑privilege principles while the issue remains unresolved.
  • Review and audit backup configuration files for unexpected arguments before deploying them.
