Local privilege escalation through undisclosed mechanism
Published Feb 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 23, 2024
Privilege escalation in OpenText Operations Agent 12.15 and 12.20 through 12.25 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. OpenText has not published the affected component or the incorrect operation that enables the escalation. Successful exploitation requires existing low-privilege local access on a non-Windows host and grants control beyond that account.
