The MicroSCADA Pro/X SYS600 product allows an authenticated user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations. If exploited the vulnerability allows the attacker to access or modify system files or other files that are critical to the application.

An attacker with local access to machine where MicroSCADA X SYS600 is installed, could enable the session logging supporting the product and try to exploit a session hijacking of an already established session. By default, the session logging level is not enabled and only users with administrator rights can enable it.
