DescriptionCVE.org

CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager Agent versions 25.10.0 and lower allow potential unauthorized privilege elevation leveraging CyberArk elevation dialogs

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager Agent versions 25.10.0 and below contain a vulnerability that could allow attackers to bypass privilege elevation controls, potentially granting unauthorized administrative access to critical systems. This affects any organization using this agent for endpoint privilege management and requires immediate mitigation since no patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Monitor and audit all privilege elevation requests through CyberArk elevation dialogs for anomalies. Restrict elevation dialog functionality to authorized administrators only. Implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement if elevation is exploited. Enable enhanced logging and SIEM alerting on elevation activities. Require multi-factor authentication for elevation requests. Consider temporary disabling of elevation functionality on non-critical systems until patch availability. Monitor CyberArk security advisories for patch release timeline.
