Local privilege escalation through undisclosed mechanism
Published Oct 12, 2022 · Updated May 19, 2025
Improper privilege management in Avaya Aura Communication Manager 8.0.0.0 through 8.1.3.3 and 10.1.0.0 allows local users to elevate privileges. Avaya has not published the affected component or the privilege-management operation that improperly handles an administrator's authority. Exploitation requires an existing local administrative account and user interaction, and successful exploitation grants privileges beyond that account's intended scope.
