In the CGM CLININET application server, multiple processes responsible for HL7 communication with external systems run with root privileges while processing untrusted data received from those external systems. An attacker in adjacent network able to send data to these HL7 communication processes can achieve remote code execution with root privileges.
The vulnerability was confirmed to affect versions up to 2026.MS3 but later versions may also be vulnerable.
Execution with Unnecessary Privileges The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.
