Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Hirschmann Industrial HiVision versions prior to 08.1.04 and 08.2.00. It involves the execution of user-configured external applications where insufficient path sanitization allows a local attacker to place a malicious binary in the execution path. As a result, the malicious binary can be executed instead of the intended application.

The attacker can exploit this to run arbitrary binaries, potentially with elevated privileges depending on the context in which the external application runs.
