A security audit identified a privilege escalation vulnerability in Operations Agent(<=OA 12.29) on Windows. Under specific conditions Operations Agent may run executables from specific writeable locations.Thanks to Manuel Rickli & Philippe Leiser of Oneconsult AG for reporting this vulnerability
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in OpenText Operations Agent versions 12.29 and earlier on Windows allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by placing malicious executables in specific writeable directories, which the agent subsequently executes with elevated privileges. The vulnerability requires local access and specific conditions to be present but does not require prior authentication to the agent itself. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires local access to Windows system running Operations Agent version 12.29 or earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | While a CVSS score is not provided, the vulnerability presents moderate-to-high real-world risk for Windows environments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unprivileged local user on a Windows system running vulnerable Operations Agent identifies a writeable directory in the agent's executable search path (such as a temp folder, a shared directory, or an unprotected plugin location). The attacker places a malicious executable with a name the agent expects (e.g., a legitimate DLL or executable name), and when the agent performs a scheduled task or maintenance operation, it loads and executes the attacker's payload with system-level privileges. … |
| Remediation | Update OpenText Operations Agent to a version later than 12.29 as soon as feasible. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
