What the vulnerability does

01Description

In BRAIN2 versions prior to 3.09, the application LogPathConfig.exe is executed during setup. As a result, the Windows group Everyone is granted full control over %ProgramData% instead of being restricted to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BRAIN2\. Starting with BRAIN2 3.09, the setup no longer executes this tool. However, the optional component Bizerba ScriptService still executes it. Bizerba ScriptService is being deprecated and will no longer be included starting with BRAIN2 version 3.11.
