Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-59241 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens SIMATIC WinCC V7.5. 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-2026-59241/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59241/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-59241","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59241/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-59241","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q747-5rxh-c5w7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SCADA HMI software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker with database access can escalate privileges and execute arbitrary commands on the host system running SIMATIC WinCC.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC WinCC V7.5 (All versions), SIMATIC WinCC V8.0 (All versions \u003c V8.0 Update 11), SIMATIC WinCC V8.1 (All versions \u003c V8.1 Update 7).
