CVE-2025-27398

A vulnerability has been identified in SCALANCE LPE9403 (6GK5998-3GS00-2AC2) (All versions < V4.0). Affected devices do not properly neutralize special characters when interpreting user controlled log paths. This could allow an authenticated highly-privileged remote attacker to execute a limited set of binaries that are already present on the filesystem.

Summary		(es) Se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad en SCALANCE LPE9403 (6GK5998-3GS00-2AC2) (todas las versiones anteriores a la V4.0). Los dispositivos afectados no neutralizan correctamente los caracteres especiales al interpretar las rutas de registro controladas por el usuario. Esto podría permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado y con privilegios elevados ejecute un conjunto limitado de archivos binarios que ya están presentes en el sistema de archivos.
