CVE-2026-58127PACSgear MediaWriter 5.2.1 Unauthenticated RCE via .NET Remoting TCP Service
Critical 9.8
In plain English
A critical-severity missing authentication in PACSgear MediaWriter from Hyland. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 1.9% (higher than 80% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
PACSgear MediaWriter 5.2.1 exposes a .NET Remoting TCP service on port 9000 via PacsgearMediaServerEngine.dll, registered with ObjectURIs RemoteObj and UIRemoteObj, without any authentication requirement. By exploiting the MarshalByRefObject object unmarshalling technique and implementing .NET WebClient class methods, an unauthenticated remote attacker can read and write arbitrary files on the host filesystem. The ObjectURIs are identical across all installations by default. Chaining the arbitrary file write primitive with DLL hijacking opportunities in the MediaWriter service (which runs as NT Authority\\SYSTEM and loads missing DLLs such as CRYPTBASE.DLL from the application directory) enables unauthenticated remote code execution as SYSTEM upon service restart.
