Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.11%

2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs

Summary

In BRAIN2 prior to version 3.09, the LogPathConfig.exe application is executed during setup, granting the Everyone group full control over %ProgramData% instead of restricting access to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BRAIN2\. Starting with version 3.09, the setup no longer runs this tool, but the optional Bizerba ScriptService still executes it. ScriptService is deprecated and will not be included from version 3.11.

Risk Assessment

Unauthorized users can gain full access to the %ProgramData% directory, potentially leading to system file modification and privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update BRAIN2 to version 3.09 or later and avoid using the deprecated Bizerba ScriptService.
