CVE-2026-79153

Local SYSTEM escalation via kernel driver access control

Published Sep 25, 2026 · Updated Sep 25, 2026

Improper access control in Seclore FileSecure Desktop Client before 3.25.1.0 allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges. Public sources identify only the kernel-mode driver component; Seclore has not disclosed the affected operation or how it mishandles access control. A user must already hold authenticated local access, after which successful exploitation elevates execution to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
