CVE-2026-16247

Insecure permission overwrite due to execution of LogPathConfig.exe while installing _connect.BRAIN

Published Jul 20, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In _connect.BRAIN versions prior to 5.06,
the application LogPathConfig.exe is executed during setup. During this
process, existing permissions on %ProgramData% are deleted and replaced,
granting the Windows group Everyone full control instead of restricting
access to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\_connect.BRAIN or %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BCT.









Starting with _connect.BRAIN 5.06,
the setup no longer executes this tool.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

* Upgrade to _connect.BRAIN 5.06 or later * Important: An update does not restore previously overwritten permissions on %ProgramData%. Permissions must be manually reviewed and corrected by a Windows administrator. Only a fresh installation of _connect.BRAIN 5.06 or later ensures that the issue does not occur during setup.


Vendor Workaround

An automatic correction is not possible, as restoring permissions on %ProgramData% may affect other installed software. A Windows administrator can reduce the risk by: * reviewing and restoring required permissions on %ProgramData%, and * removing full control permissions for Everyone, and * assigning full control permissions for Everyone specifically to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\_connect.BRAIN or %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BCT.
