CVE-2026-1717

Elevated process termination via argument injection

Published Mar 11, 2026 · Updated Mar 11, 2026

Input validation in LenovoProductivitySystemAddin before 1.0.0.138 allows local users to terminate arbitrary processes as elevated code. Lenovo maps the flaw to argument injection but does not disclose the affected command, function, or validation failure that accepts the process target. A locally authenticated, low-privilege account is required, and the bounded impact is interruption of attacker-selected processes.
