CVE-2023-27310

Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—

A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW (All versions < V5.2). The client query handler of the affected application fails to check for proper permissions when assigning groups to user accounts. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to assign administrative groups to otherwise non-privileged user accounts.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
