CISA's summary
Summary: Several tools for the SIMOTION system are affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges when a legitimate user installs an application that uses the affected setup component. This vulnerability poses a risk only during setup and installation phase of the affected tools. Siemens is preparing fix versions and recommends specific countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available.

Vulnerabilities in this advisory
- CVE-2025-43715 — CVE-2025-43715 · CWE-754
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) before 3.11 on Windows allows local users to escalate privileges to SYSTEM during an installation, because the temporary plugins directory is created under %WINDIR%\temp and unprivileged users can place a crafted executable file by winning a race condition. This occurs because EW_CREATEDIR does not always set the CreateRestrictedDirectory error flag.
