Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.64%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

An issue was discovered in Elspec G5 digital fault recorder versions 1.1.4.15 and before. Privilege escalation can occur via world writable files. The network configuration script has weak filesystem permissions. This results in write access for all authenticated users and the possibility to escalate from user privileges to administrative privileges.
