CVE-2024-24912

Local privilege escalation via crafted DLL loading

Published May 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Local privilege escalation in Check Point Harmony Endpoint Security Client for Windows E88.10 and earlier allows local users to execute code. A privileged client component accepts a crafted DLL without sufficient permission or component validation, causing attacker-controlled code to run with elevated privileges. Check Point has not publicly identified the affected process or DLL-loading path; exploitation requires prior ability to execute local privileged code.
