IMPACT
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow authenticated

IMPROPER ACCESS CONTROL CWE-284
An Improper Access Control vulnerability has been identified, which may

(AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

SCADA LAquis software is vulnerable to local privilege escalation. EVERYONE
has FULL permissions over all the install files (*exe,*dll), therefore, it
is possible for any local, authenticated, non-admin user to replace/modify
original application files with malicious ones, and gain higher privileged
access once an administrative user runs the application. Other vectors are
possible as well.
