DescriptionCVE.org

IBM Trusteer Rapport installer 3.5.2309.290 IBM Trusteer Rapport could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by DLL uncontrolled search path element vulnerability. By placing a specially crafted file in a compromised folder, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

IBM Trusteer Rapport 3.5.2309.290 contains a critical local privilege escalation vulnerability that allows attackers with local system access to execute arbitrary code. This poses a direct threat to endpoint security across any organization using this anti-fraud software, potentially enabling attackers to bypass security controls and compromise sensitive systems.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Restrict local administrator privileges on endpoints running this software; implement application whitelisting to prevent unsigned DLL execution; disable unnecessary local file shares; enforce strict endpoint access controls; monitor and alert on suspicious DLL loading in Trusteer Rapport process paths; consider temporary removal if alternative endpoint protection solutions are available; segment affected systems from high-value assets.
