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.
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.
-
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.
