5.5 (Medium)
Mitigation
For clusters not using the UGERest API/daemon remove the setuid-root bit from the binaries for all architectures: chmod u-s $SGE_ROOT/utilbin/<arch>/authuser.
Vendor Fix
Update to V2026.0.0 or later version
https://altairone.com/Marketplace
7.8 (High)
Mitigation
For non Windows clusters remove the setuid-root bit from the "sgepasswd" binary for all installed architectures: chmod u-s $SGE_ROOT/bin/<arch>/sgepasswd.
Vendor Fix
Update to V2026.0.0 or later version
