ScadaLTS 2.8.1-release-candidate build 0 is affected by an Authorization Bypass

Spring Security gates DWR endpoints by URL path pattern, but DWR itself dispatches method calls based on the POST body parameters c0-scriptName and c0-methodName. The crossDomainSessionSecurity setting in web.xml is set to false, which disables DWR's built-in origin validation. This means any authenticated user can invoke any DWR method (regardless of the URL-based access control) by sending their request to a URL they are permitted to access (e.g. MiscDwr.initializeLongPoll.dwr) while targeting a restricted class in the POST body.

This is the systemic root cause that enables multiple other findings to be exploited as a low privilege user.

ScadaLTS 2.7.8.1 exposes a server-side method that lacks authorization checks, allowing any authenticated user (including one holding only low-privilege, read-only permissions) to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host. Successful exploitation results in code execution in the context of the ScadaLTS server process (root), leading to full compromise of the underlying system.

ScadaLTS 2.7.8.1 reflects user-supplied input into an HTML response without sanitization. An unauthenticated attacker who lures a victim into visiting a crafted URL can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session.
