CVE-2024-2602
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability exists that could result in remote code execution when an authenticated user executes a saved project file that has been tampered by a malicious actor.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA CWE-22 Path Traversal vulnerability in the project's saved file handling allows authenticated users to craft malicious project files that escape restricted directories, potentially leading to remote code execution on the affected system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Schneider Electric Foxrtu Station is installedCheck installed programs or use system inventory tools to locate Foxrtu Station installation directories (commonly in Program Files or vendor-specific paths)Affected if Foxrtu Station is present on the system
-
Determine the installed Foxrtu Station versionCheck the program's About dialog, version information in executable properties, or look for version files in the installation directory; compare against the affected range (all versions below 9.3.0)Affected if Installed version is lower than 9.3.0
-
Identify if project file functionality is in useLook for project file directories or recent .rtu, .prj, or similar project file extensions in the Foxrtu data directories; check for saved project configurationsAffected if Project files or saved configurations exist on the system
-
Check for unauthorized file access attemptsReview application and system logs for path traversal indicators such as directory traversal patterns (../), unexpected file paths outside intended directories, or access to system directories from the Foxrtu processAffected if Logs show path traversal patterns or unauthorized directory access
-
Verify user authentication configurationsReview Foxrtu user account settings and authentication logs to identify which users have access to the project file import/load functionalityAffected if Multiple authenticated users exist with project file access privileges
The environment is affected if Schneider Electric Foxrtu Station is installed with a version lower than 9.3.0 and project file handling functionality is accessible to authenticated users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped9.3.0
Implement strict path validation and canonicalization to ensure project files cannot escape intended directories; add file integrity verification (e.g., cryptographic signatures) to detect tampered project files before execution.
Foxrtu Station version 9.3.0 or later
- 1. Check current Foxrtu Station version by opening the application and navigating to Help > About or checking the installation directory for version information
- 2. Backup all existing project files, configurations, and any custom settings to a secure location
- 3. Navigate to the Schneider Electric download portal at download.schneider-electric.com
- 4. Search for Foxrtu Station version 9.3.0 or later
- 5. Download the installer for Foxrtu Station version 9.3.0 or newer
- 6. Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts to upgrade the software
- 7. After installation, verify the new version by checking Help > About in the application
- 8. Restore project files from the backup and validate they load correctly
