CVE-2021-38118

Local disclosure of privileged information

Published Nov 22, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Improper input validation in OpenText iManager 3.0.0 through 3.2.4.0000 allows local users to read privileged information. OpenText identifies execution with unnecessary privileges but has not disclosed the affected component, accepted input, or validation error. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and affects confidentiality, with no vendor-reported integrity or availability impact.
