CVE-2022-41976
An privilege escalation issue was discovered in Scada-LTS 2.7.1.1 build 2948559113 allows remote attackers, authenticated in the application as a low-privileged user to change role (e.g., to administrator) by updating their user profile.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.55%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
