DescriptionCVE.org

Zohocorp ManageEngine Endpoint Central versions before 11.5.2605.01 are vulnerable to local privilege escalation due to Agent upgrade.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in Zohocorp ManageEngine Endpoint Central before version 11.5.2605.01 allows a low-privileged local user to gain elevated access by exploiting improper privilege management (CWE-269) during the agent upgrade process. The CVSS scope change (S:C) confirms that exploitation crosses privilege boundaries beyond the initially compromised context, affecting higher-privileged system components. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) local interactive or terminal access to an endpoint running the ManageEngine Endpoint Central agent at a version prior to 11.5.2605.01; (2) at minimum a low-privileged local OS account (PR:L in CVSS) sufficient to write to a path exercised during the agent upgrade; and (3) a higher-privileged process or user must trigger the agent upgrade sequence (UI:R), such as an administrator pushing updates through the Endpoint Central console or a scheduled upgrade task. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, score 5.7) frames this as a locally exploitable, low-complexity escalation requiring low initial privileges and user interaction - the UI:R element likely reflects a requirement for an administrator or automated service to trigger the upgrade sequence. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade ManageEngine Endpoint Central to version 11.5.2605.01 or later using the vendor's standard update mechanism; the patch is confirmed available per the vendor advisory at https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/help/cve/agent-upgrade-privilege-escalation.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
