In PHOENIX CONTACTs TC ROUTER and TC CLOUD CLIENT in versions prior to 2.07.2 as well as CLOUD CLIENT 1101T-TX/TX prior to 2.06.10 an authenticated remote attacker with admin privileges could upload a crafted XML file which causes a denial-of-service.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could read specific Group Policy configuration settings.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could create or delete files in the security context of the “NT AUTHORITY\\ LOCAL SERVICE” account.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to create a crafted certificate in order to validate themselves as a trusted source.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain specific limited SYSTEM privileges.
