DescriptionCVE.org

Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM Mac), versions prior to 2.3.0.1005, contain an Improper Access Control vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of privileges and arbitrary code execution.

AnalysisAI

Elevation of privileges and arbitrary code execution in Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM) for macOS exposes endpoints running versions prior to 2.3.0.1005 to local privilege escalation attacks. An improper access control flaw (CWE-284) allows a low-privileged local account to bypass access controls enforced by DDPM, ultimately achieving arbitrary code execution with elevated rights. …
