It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-23448 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens SIMATIC Energy Manager Basic. 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-2022-23448/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23448/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-23448","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23448/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-23448","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5hqf-83pf-c8gv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Siemens Energy Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local unprivileged attackers can achieve SYSTEM privileges due to improper directory permissions in Siemens SIMATIC Energy Manager applications.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"simatic_energy_manager_basic","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_energy_manager_pro","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC Energy Manager Basic (All versions \u003c V7.3 Update 1), SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO (All versions \u003c V7.3 Update 1).
