Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-1261 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Matrikon, a subsidiary of Honeywell Matrikon OPC Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1261/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1261/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-1261","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1261/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-1261","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-757j-f6hf-9v7v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Matrikon OPC Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privileged users can execute OS processes with system-level privileges via the IPersisFile function in Matrikon OPC Server.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"matrikon_opc_server","vendor":"honeywell"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Matrikon, a subsidary of Honeywell Matrikon OPC Server (all versions) is vulnerable to a condition where a low privileged user allowed to connect to the OPC server to use the functions of the IPersisFile to execute operating system processes with system-level privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Matrikon OPC Server Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2022-1261","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in D-Link Routers","id":"CVE-2022-1262"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2022-1260"},"products":["Matrikon OPC Server"],"published":"2022-05-26","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-16","vendors":["Matrikon, a subsidiary of Honeywell"]},"summary":"Low-privileged users can execute OS processes with system-level privileges via the IPersisFile function in Matrikon OPC Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1261/"}
