    CVE-2025-7973

    A security issue exists in FactoryTalk ViewPoint version 14.0 or below due to improper handling of MSI repair operations. During a repair, attackers can hijack the cscript.exe console window, which runs with SYSTEM privileges. This can be exploited to spawn an elevated command prompt, enabling full privilege escalation.
