Local privilege escalation in Rapid7 InsightVM, Nexpose, and the Insight Agent allows a low-privileged user to gain elevated code execution by planting an executable in a location the scanner discovers and runs during an authenticated assessment. Because the products execute discovered executables without validating file ownership (CWE-250), the planted code runs as the scan credential on Scan Engine or as root/SYSTEM under the Insight Agent, yielding full local compromise. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not on CISA KEV, but the vendor-confirmed root/SYSTEM outcome makes this a meaningful escalation path.
