Codesys · Codesys Development System · CVE-2026-44469
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
CODESYS Development System (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The software extracts installation files to a temporary directory using incorrect default permissions during administrative installation. This allows a low-privileged local attacker to exploit a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use) race condition—a scenario where a system checks a condition and then uses the result, but the condition changes between the check and the use—to replace verified files with malicious ones before the installation completes, leading to local privilege escalation.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
