CVE-2024-7587 is an incorrect default permissions vulnerability in GenBroker32, a legacy communications utility included in installers for Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64, ICONICS Suite, GENESIS32, and MC Works64. Affected versions include GENESIS64 and ICONICS Suite 10.97.3 and prior, GENESIS32 9.70.300.23 and prior, and all versions of MC Works64. When GenBroker32 is installed on the same Windows system as these products, the installer applies overly permissive access controls to the C:\ProgramData\ICONICS directory. The provided content states the installer performs a security-setting operation that effectively grants broad access, including read/write/modify permissions for all users, to a directory containing critical configuration, reporting, logging, and other product files. This allows a local authenticated attacker to access and modify sensitive product data and configuration stored there.

A previously disclosed excessive-permissions vulnerability in the GenBroker32 installer that makes exploitation of CVE-2025-0921 easier by allowing any local user to modify critical configuration files in C:\ProgramData\ICONICS.
A vulnerability in the GenBroker32 installer within Iconics Suite that grants overly permissive filesystem ACLs (full read/write for all users) on C:\ProgramData\ICONICS, enabling unprivileged local users to modify critical configuration files; used in the article as a prerequisite/accelerant to reliably exploit CVE-2025-0921 via a vulnerability chain.
An incorrect default permissions vulnerability in the GenBroker32 utility for ICONICS/GENESIS installations that sets overly permissive access controls on C:\ProgramData\ICONICS, allowing all users to read, write, modify, and execute within a critical directory.
