Title
Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager Agent: Local Privilege Escalation via Internal Communication or File Operation Manipulation
Summary
Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager Agent versions prior to 26.5 exhibit improper access control within high-privileged agent components. A local, low-privileged attacker could exploit this by manipulating an internal communication mechanism or file operation. Under specific circumstances, this could potentially allow the attacker to bypass permission restrictions and execute unauthorized local actions with elevated privileges. CyberArk Security Bulletin: CA26-19
Severity
