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. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
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. |
