The standard user uses the run as function to start the MEAC applications with administrative privileges. To ensure that the system can startup on its own, the credentials of the administrator were stored. Consequently, the EPC2 user can execute any command with administrative privileges. This allows a privilege escalation to the administrative level.

- SCA-2025-0001Multiple vulnerabilities in SICK MEAC3002025-02-14csaf · sick_psirtDE
SICK has identified vulnerabilities in MEAC300. These vulnerabilities, related to the OpenSSL library and specific device functionalities, could potentially allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to: 1) Cause a denial of service: Triggering an infinite loop that consumes CPU resources, rendering the device unresponsive (CVE-2022-0778). This impacts MEAC300 DE devices running vulnerable OpenSSL versions when processing manipulated SSH certificates. 2) Compromise the MEAC300: Exploit vulnerabilities accessible via Ethernet to potentially impact the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the device. SICK recommends ensuring that affected products operate within secure network environments to mitigate these risks.
