Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: High
Availability: High

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should first audit their systems to identify installations of Century Corporation's RAID Manager, particularly versions released before September 1, 2025. Immediate steps include: 1) Restrict write permissions on the root directory of the system drive to only trusted administrators, ensuring that no unauthorized users can place executables there. 2) Manually inspect and correct the service path for the RAID Manager Windows service by enclosing the executable path in double quotes to prevent path parsing issues. 3) Implement application whitelisting and endpoint protection solutions that can detect and block unauthorized service modifications or execution of untrusted binaries. 4) Monitor system logs and service configurations for unexpected changes or suspicious activity related to the RAID Manager service. 5) Engage with Century Corporation for official patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and plan timely deployment once available. 6) Educate system administrators about the risks of unquoted service paths and enforce secure service configuration practices across all Windows services. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific root cause and exploitation vector of this vulnerability.

Description

RAID Manager provided by Century Corporation registers a Windows service with an unquoted file path. A user with the write permission on the root directory of the system drive may execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privilege.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for those relying on Century Corporation's RAID Manager to manage storage arrays in enterprise or data center environments. Exploitation could allow an insider or a local attacker with elevated privileges but not full administrative rights to escalate to SYSTEM-level control, leading to potential data breaches, disruption of storage services, or deployment of persistent malware. This could affect confidentiality by exposing sensitive stored data, integrity by allowing tampering with storage management processes, and availability by disrupting RAID configurations or causing system instability. Given the medium CVSS score and the requirement for local access with high privileges, the threat is more relevant in environments with multiple privileged users or where endpoint security controls are lax. European organizations with strict access controls and endpoint protection may reduce risk, but those with shared administrative environments or legacy systems might be vulnerable. Additionally, the lack of known exploits in the wild suggests a window for proactive mitigation before active exploitation occurs.
