Execution with unnecessary privileges vulnerability in Broadcom Automic Automation Agent Unix on Linux x64, Linux Power 64 BE, Linux Power 64 LE, zLinux (zSeries), AIX, Solaris x64, Solaris Sparc 64 allows Privilege Escalation, Target Programs with Elevated Privileges.
This issue affects Automic Automation: < 24.4.4 HF1.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Broadcom Automic Automation Agent versions prior to 24.4.4 HF1 allows authenticated low-privileged users on Unix-family systems (Linux x64, Linux Power 64 BE/LE, zLinux, AIX, Solaris x64, Solaris Sparc 64) to abuse the agent's elevated privileges and target programs running with higher rights. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact achievable from a local foothold, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
