Technical details

A privilege escalation vulnerability (CWE-269) exists in Johnson Controls victor Web on Windows prior to version 7.1. The flaw allows an attacker to perform an 'unauthorized delegation' (CAPEC-233), effectively gaining rights beyond their intended level. Exploitation requires high privileges (PR:H) and occurs over the network, though it is constrained by high attack complexity and specific technical preconditions. Successful exploitation can lead to a high impact on confidentiality and a low impact on the integrity and availability of the system. Users are advised to upgrade to version 7.1 or later.
