Local privilege escalation via uninitialized resource
Published Jan 14, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Use of an uninitialized resource in Ivanti Endpoint Manager allows local users to escalate privileges on affected Windows servers. Ivanti identifies the defect only as use of an uninitialized resource and has not disclosed the affected component, resource, or operation that consumes it.
