CVE-2026-11857 — Insecure .NET Remoting deserialization in Quanos SCHEMA ST4 Client Update Service allows local privilege escalation
Quanos SCHEMA ST4 on-premises contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Client Update Service due to insecure deserialization in the .NET Remoting service. The service is configured with TypeFilterLevel.Full and is bound to local interfaces only through named pipes. A local authenticated attacker can connect to the local named pipe, obtain the .NET Remoting endpoint, and send specially crafted serialized objects. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the update process with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges. Network-only exploitation is not possible and local host access with an authenticated user session is required.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.3% (30-day exploitation probability)+3
- Technical severity (high)+6
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Quanos Solutions GmbH SCHEMA ST4).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (insecure deserialization), errors and authentication anomalies.
