AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 24, 2026

Local privilege escalation in Acronis DeviceLock DLP (Windows, builds before 9.0.93212) and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent (Windows, builds before 42183) allows a low-privileged local user to escalate to full system control through improper input validation. Classified as CWE-123 (write-what-where condition), successful exploitation yields total compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.01%), but the SSVC technical impact is rated total.
