CVE-2026-16246

Insecure permission assignment due to execution of LogPathConfig.exe during setup

Published Jul 20, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In BRAIN2 versions prior to 3.09, the
application LogPathConfig.exe is executed during setup. As a result, the
Windows group Everyone is granted full control over %ProgramData% instead of
being restricted to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BRAIN2\.





Starting with BRAIN2 3.09, the setup no
longer executes this tool.

However, the optional component Bizerba ScriptService still executes it.





Bizerba ScriptService is being
deprecated and will no longer be included starting with BRAIN2 version 3.11.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

* Upgrade to BRAIN2 version 3.09 or later * Important: An update alone does not remove the incorrectly assigned permissions on %ProgramData%. These permissions must be manually corrected by a Windows administrator. * Only a fresh installation of BRAIN2 3.09 or later without installing Bizerba ScriptService prevents the issue during setup. * Do not install Bizerba ScriptService and use the BRAIN2 Device Control Service instead * Starting with BRAIN2 3.11, Bizerba ScriptService will no longer be included in the delivery


Vendor Workaround

An automatic correction is not possible, as modifying permissions on %ProgramData% may affect the functionality of other software installed on the system. A Windows administrator can reduce the risk by: * removing full control permissions for Everyone on %ProgramData%, and * assigning the required permissions specifically to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BRAIN2\
