Title
Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® Linx Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities
Summary
A security issue exists within the x86 Microsoft Installer File (MSI), installed with FTLinx. Authenticated attackers with valid Windows user credentials can initiate a repair and hijack the resulting console window. This allows the launching of a command prompt running with SYSTEM-level privileges, allowing full access to all files, processes, and system resources.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
