CVE-2025-55187Network attack vector

Remote privilege escalation via incorrect access control

Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025

Incorrect access control in DriveLock Agent 24.1.4, 24.2.5, and 25.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to gain elevated privileges. DriveLock identifies incorrect access control in the Agent but does not disclose the affected network service, request, or failed authorization decision. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and same-network reachability and yields elevated privileges on the Windows endpoint, while the resulting privilege level remains undisclosed.
