CVE-2024-45672

Privileged file overwrite via overprivileged agent

Published Jan 23, 2025 · Updated Jan 23, 2025

Improper data modification in IBM Security Verify Bridge 1.0.0 through 1.0.15 allows local users to overwrite files. IBM attributes the overwrite to excessive privileges granted to the agent but does not disclose the affected file paths, permission-setting locus, or triggering operation. Exploitation requires local high privileges and can alter files or deny service, although IBM does not identify the resulting failure mode.
