CVE-2022-27773

Elevated command execution via incorrect default permissions

Published Dec 5, 2022 · Updated Apr 24, 2025

Privilege escalation in Ivanti Endpoint Manager 2021.1 SU2 and earlier and 2022 SU1 allows local users to execute elevated commands. Ivanti has not published the affected client component or the permission operation that exposes privileged command execution. Low-privileged local access is required, and successful exploitation runs commands with operating-system privileges above the user's own.
