CWE-120Published: August 27, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
7.3
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The MPD package included in TwinCAT/BSD allows an authenticated, low-privileged local
attacker to induce a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition on the daemon and execute code in
the context of user “root” via a crafted HTTP request.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-41176 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), with a CVSS base score of 7.3.
