CVSS v3.1

Official Description

A vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privilege on Rapid Scada 5.5.0 because of weak C:\SCADA permissions. The specific flaw exists within the access control that is set and modified during the installation of the product. The product sets weak access control restrictions. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of Administrator, the IUSR account, or SYSTEM.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2018-5313 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
