CVE-2025-30054 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-23

CGM CLININET is a hospital information system used to manage patient records and medical workflows across healthcare facilities. A local privilege escalation vulnerability allows an attacker with limited system access to modify scripts and configuration files belonging to a root-privileged service that processes incoming HL7 medical messages, enabling arbitrary code execution with root privileges and full system compromise.

## Technical details

The HL7 message processing service runs with root privileges but stores its scripts and configuration files with incorrect permissions that allow modification by the unprivileged uhcapache user. An attacker who has compromised or gained the uhcapache account can modify these files to inject arbitrary code, which then executes with root privileges when the service processes messages. This is a local attack requiring prior system access but provides a direct privilege escalation path to root.
