Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3100 charx_pack_logs Improper Input Validation Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3100 charging controllers. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the charx_pack_logs script. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root.
