Risk evaluation
A local privilege escalation vulnerability in Phoenix Contact products utilizing WIBU-SYSTEMS CodeMeter Runtime allows users to gain admin rights on freshly installed systems. The CodeMeter Control Center starts with elevated privileges and retains them until restarted, enabling unauthorized access to admin tools like cmd.exe.
Mitigation summary
PHOENIX CONTACT strongly recommends affected users to upgrade to CodeMeter V8.30a, which fixes these vulnerabilities. WIBU-SYSTEMS has already published this update for CodeMeter on their homepage. Since this current version of CodeMeter V8.30a has not yet been incorporated into Phoenix Contact products, we strongly recommend to download and install the current CodeMeter version directly from the WIBU-SYSTEMS homepage. Additional Recommendations: Regularly check the product's official webpage for updated release versions that support CodeMeter V8.30a. Update the Activation Wizard to version 1.8 as soon as it becomes available on the product's download page.
