CVE-2024-40872
"Absolute Secure Access Local Privilege Elevation Vulnerability"
Description
There is an elevation of privilege vulnerability in server and client components of Absolute Secure Access prior to version 13.07. Attackers with local access and valid desktop user credentials can elevate their privilege to system level by passing invalid address data to the vulnerable component. This could be used to manipulate process tokens to elevate the privilege of a normal process to System. The scope is changed, the impact to system confidentiality and integrity is high, the impact to the availability of the effected component is none.
