Satel Netco Design: Relative path traversal in data export
Summary
Satel Netco Design versions prior to v2.1.7 contain a relative path traversal vulnerability in the data export function. An authenticated user with Viewer privileges can write attacker-influenced content to file system locations accessible to the application service. This can lead to unauthorized file creation or modification and, under certain conditions, arbitrary code execution. The CVSS v4.0 base score is 8.7 (High).
Affected
- Satel Netco Design versions prior to v2.1.7
Fixed in
- Satel Netco Design v2.1.7
Workaround
- No vendor workaround known.
- Generic mitigation: keep control system devices off the internet, separate them from business networks with firewalls, and use a maintained VPN for remote access if required.
Exploitation
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none, not automatable, total technical impact.
- CISA reports no known public exploitation at publication.
- No public proof of concept found.
Our recommendation
- Verify whether Satel Netco Design is installed and which version is running.
- Update to v2.1.7 or later after impact analysis and risk assessment.
- Restrict access to Viewer accounts to trusted staff and review existing accounts.
- Do not expose the application to the internet or business networks; isolate it and monitor file system changes and export activity.
- Check the NVD and Satel advisories before closing the item.
