Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
During an internal security assessment, a potential vulnerability was discovered in Lenovo Software Fix that could allow a local authenticated user to perform arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Lenovo Software Fix versions prior to 7.5.5.19 allows an authenticated local attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges via argument injection. While the CVSS 4.0 score is 8.5, exploitation requires local authenticated access and no active exploitation or public exploit is known; EPSS probability is extremely low (0.01%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-88 (Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command), suggesting that the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied arguments before passing them to a system shell. Lenovo Software Fix, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:lenovo:software_fix:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, likely constructs command strings for system-level operations (e.g., applying fixes or updates) that can be subverted to inject additional commands.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Lenovo Software Fix version 7.5.5.19 or later, as per the vendor advisory https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/LEN-213829. If immediate patching is not possible, limit interactive access to trusted users only; fully disabling the software would remove the vector but may prevent the application of critical system fixes.
