1 technique across 1 tactic: Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a low-privilege account with local access (AV:L, PR:L) on a host running the Tanium Threat Response Client Extension; there is no remote or network path and no user interaction is needed. The specific feature, input, or operation that triggers the out-of-bounds read is not described in the available sources. A significant limiting factor is the high attack complexity (AC:H): a condition outside the attacker's control must be met, so exploitation is not reliably repeatable, and the impact is confined to limited information disclosure (C:L) with minor availability effect (A:L) and no integrity impact. Affected products are the Tanium Threat Response CX and the Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution; updating to the fixed versions from Tanium advisory TAN-2026-056 is the vendor remedy. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-priority issue, and the signals agree rather than conflict. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L, base 3.6 Low) describes a locally-exploitable flaw that needs an existing low-privilege foothold on the host and succeeds only under a high-complexity condition outside the attacker's direct control, yielding limited confidentiality and availability impact and no integrity impact. The vuln.today decision label is 'monitor', the lowest urgency tier, consistent with that score. No EPSS probability is supplied, there is no CISA KEV listing, and the references contain only the vendor advisory and the NVD page - no public exploit identified at time of analysis. CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read) matches an information-disclosure outcome. One inconsistency to flag for the reader: the input Tags include 'Buffer Overflow', which implies a memory-write/overflow, whereas the assigned CWE-125 and the vendor description both describe an out-of-bounds read / information disclosure - treat the 'Buffer Overflow' label as unverified. Overall this is a low-CVSS, low-real-risk issue: patch during normal maintenance, not an emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already has a low-privilege local account on a host running the Tanium Threat Response Client Extension triggers an out-of-bounds read in the extension and recovers small amounts of adjacent process memory that should not be exposed. Success depends on a high-complexity precondition the attacker does not fully control, so exploitation is unreliable. No public exploit code or PoC reference is present in the supplied sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Local information disclosure in Tanium Threat Response Client Extension and Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution is reachable only by a low-privileged local user and depends on a high-complexity condition outside the attacker's control, so impact is limited to low confidentiality exposure and minor availability loss. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and Tanium has published fixed builds under advisory TAN-2026-056.
RemediationAI
Tanium-released patch: update Threat Response CX to 1.17.802, 1.18.2732, 1.19.2213, 1.20.2271, or 1.21.1673 according to the deployed branch, and update Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution to 1.51.60, 1.59.50, or 1.71.25, following Tanium advisory TAN-2026-056 at https://security.tanium.com/TAN-2026-056. No separate workaround is described in the supplied sources; updating to one of these fixed builds is the vendor remedy. Because the attack path requires local access and a low-privileged account, prioritize upgrade coverage on endpoints where unprivileged local users can run code.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-125 describes an out-of-bounds read, in which software accesses memory beyond the intended buffer boundary; this can expose adjacent memory contents and is consistent with the limited confidentiality effect in the CVSS vector. The supplied sources do not describe the specific feature, input, or operation that triggers the out-of-bounds read in the Tanium Threat Response Client Extension. The CVSS vector establishes a local attack path requiring low privileges and no user interaction, with high attack complexity, limited confidentiality impact, minor availability impact, and no integrity impact. CPE data identifies the affected product families as Tanium threat-response-cx and Tanium endpoint_configuration_toolset_solution.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
