A vulnerability has been identified in License Management Utility (LMU) (All versions < V2.4). The lmgrd service of the affected application is executed with local SYSTEM privileges on the server while its configuration can be modified by local users. The vulnerability could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server with local SYSTEM privileges.
The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
