EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) before 3.11 on Windows allows local users to escalate privileges to SYSTEM during an installation, because the temporary plugins directory is created under %WINDIR%\temp and unprivileged users can place a crafted executable file by winning a race condition. This occurs because EW_CREATEDIR does not always set the CreateRestrictedDirectory error flag.

  • SSA-563922SSA-563922: Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in SIMOTION Tools2025-09-09csaf · siemens_psirtDE

    Several tools for the SIMOTION system are affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges when a legitimate user installs an application that uses the affected setup component. This vulnerability poses a risk only during setup and installation phase of the affected tools. Siemens has released a new version for SIMATIC Technology Package TPCamGen and recommends to update to the latest version. Siemens recommends specific mitigations for products where fixes are not or not yet available.
