CVE-2026-22615
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 · uneditedDue to improper input validation in one of the Eaton Intelligent Power Protector (IPP) XML, it is possible for an attacker with admin privileges and access to the local system to inject malicious code resulting in arbitrary command execution. This security issue has been fixed in the latest version of Eaton IPP software which is available on the Eaton download centre.
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 · high confidenceEaton Intelligent Power Protector contains an improper input validation vulnerability in an XML parameter that allows an authenticated attacker with local system access to inject and execute arbitrary commands. The attack requires both admin privileges and local access to the system, limiting its exploitability but still achieving high impact via command injection.

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 Eaton Intelligent Power Protector is installedLocate the product in the system via installed programs list, or search for executable files related to Eaton Intelligent Power Protector in common installation directoriesAffected if The product is found installed on the system
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the version information of the installed Eaton Intelligent Power Protector software (typically via program properties, a version file, or the executable metadata)Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 2.00 (for example, 1.x.x or older)
-
Verify the application is running or configured to runCheck if the Eaton Intelligent Power Protector service or application is currently active on the systemAffected if The application is running and exposed for use
-
Assess local access controlsReview which user accounts have local system access and admin privileges on the machine where Eaton Intelligent Power Protector is installedAffected if Multiple untrusted users have both local login access and admin-level privileges to the system
A user is affected if Eaton Intelligent Power Protector version is installed and is below version 2.00, the application is running, and the system has untrusted users with both local access and admin privileges.
