Privilege escalation via crafted OpenSSL configuration
Published Jul 23, 2023 · Updated Oct 24, 2024
Local privilege escalation in Check Point Endpoint Security Client E87.30 allows local users to execute code with elevated privileges. A privileged client operation consumes an attacker-crafted OpenSSL configuration file, but Check Point has not disclosed the responsible process or directive. Exploitation requires local access and interaction with the affected Windows client; successful exploitation grants elevated execution.
