ZDI-26-177: Array Networks MotionPro ArrayInstallManager Incorrect Permission Assignment Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Array Networks MotionPro. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 7.8. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2026-26364.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects the ArrayInstallManager component of Array Networks MotionPro. It arises from incorrect permission settings that allow a local attacker, who already has low-level code execution capabilities, to escalate privileges to SYSTEM. Exploitation requires local access and no user interaction. The flaw enables arbitrary code execution at the highest privilege level on the affected system. The vendor has released a fix in MotionPro version 1.2.28.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in local privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. This can lead to full control over the affected system, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not allow remote exploitation and requires prior low-privileged code execution.
Mitigation Recommendations
A vendor-provided official fix is available. Users should upgrade to MotionPro version 1.2.28 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until patched, restricting local access and limiting the ability to execute low-privileged code can reduce risk.
