The flaw originates from insufficient validation of signed payloads, enabling an adversary to influence execution context. Based on the description, the likely attack vector involves sending crafted signed data to the vulnerable component, triggering privileged code execution or privilege escalation.", "risk_and_exploitability": "Risk assessment is hampered by lack of CVSS and EPSS scores, but the vulnerability\u2019s nature\u2014remote privilege escalation\u2014suggests high severity. No known public exploits are reported and the issue is not listed in the KEV catalog, yet an attacker who can deliver unsigned or tampered signed data to the application could potentially subvert its security controls. Exploitation requires remote reach and the ability to submit signed data, so systems exposed to untrusted signed inputs should consider isolation or immediate patching."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-25T20:56:56.436992+00:00", "title": "Privilege Escalation via Signed Data Parsing in ralphje Signify", "updated": "2026-03-26T13:55:11.632334+00:00", "vendors": ["ralphje", "ralphje$PRODUCT$signify"], "weaknesses": ["CWE-285", "CWE-732"]}
