MediumCVSS 6.7Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk0th percentile - higher than 0% of all known CVEs
Summary
A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the ClearPass client software. Successful exploitation could allow a low-privileged local user to execute commands with elevated privileges on the affected system, if certain conditions outside of the attacker's control are met.
Risk Assessment
A low-privileged local user could elevate privileges and execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to system compromise. However, this requires specific preconditions to be met.
Recommendation
Update ClearPass client software to the latest version. Follow the principle of least privilege for local users.
