Local privilege escalation via crafted DLL permissions
Published Apr 18, 2024 · Updated Sep 29, 2025
Privilege escalation in Check Point Identity Agent and ZoneAlarm Extreme Security NextGen allows local users to elevate privileges via a crafted DLL. The vendor attributes the flaw to incorrect permissions on a critical DLL resource but does not disclose its path, permissions, or load sequence. Exploitation requires prior ability to execute local privileged code and user interaction, leaving the incremental privilege boundary undisclosed.
