CVE-2020-4610

Local code execution via improper integrity checks

Published Jun 25, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Improper integrity validation in IBM Security Verify Privilege Manager before 11.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code. IBM has not disclosed the component, checked value, or exact operation that accepts data without adequate integrity validation. Exploitation requires local access and high attack complexity; successful exploitation executes code on the Windows host.
