CVE-2026-16246
Insecure permission assignment due to execution of LogPathConfig.exe during setup
In BRAIN2 versions prior to 3.09, the application LogPathConfig.exe is executed during setup. As a result, the Windows group Everyone is granted full control over %ProgramData% instead of being restricted to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BRAIN2.

However, the optional component Bizerba ScriptService still executes it.
Bizerba ScriptService is being deprecated and will no longer be included starting with BRAIN2 version 3.11.
