CVE-2010-2772 is a hard-coded credential vulnerability in Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and PCS 7 SCADA software. The products use a fixed password for access to a back-end database, allowing a local user who knows or can recover the embedded credential to authenticate to that database and obtain elevated privileges within the affected environment. The issue became widely known through its use by the Stuxnet worm in 2010. This is distinct from the Windows shortcut handling flaw CVE-2010-2568, although the two were used together in Stuxnet-related intrusion chains.
