CVE-2025-7376
Information Tampering Vulnerability in multiple processes of GENESIS64, MC Works64, and GENESIS
Description

Windows Shortcut Following (.LNK) vulnerability in multiple processes of Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS version 11.00, Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 all versions, and Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS version 11.00 allows a local authenticated attacker to make an unauthorized write to arbitrary files, by creating a symbolic link from a file used as a write destination by the processes of the affected products to a target file. This could allow the attacker to destroy the file on a PC with the affected products installed, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the PC if the destroyed file is necessary for the operation of the PC.
