01

Who is affected

Altium Enterprise Server (on‑premises) – the Network Installation Service component.

02

Real-world impact

An attacker can place malicious files anywhere the service can write, read sensitive deployment packages, and ultimately execute code with the service account’s privileges, compromising the entire server.

03

Why this severity

The CVSS score of 10 reflects that the vulnerability is exploitable without authentication, allows complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and can lead to remote code execution with full service‑account privileges.

04

What to do about it

no official fix yet
