Impact

A flaw in Tanium End‑User Notifications allows a user with local access to override permissions and gain elevated system privileges. The root cause, as indicated by the CWE‑59 classification, involves improper restriction of resources, which may include path handling. This flaw can enable a local attacker to execute privileged actions or modify protected resources, leading to confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

Affected Systems

The affected products are Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution and Tanium End‑User CX. No specific product versions were listed in the advisory, so all released versions may be impacted until an official update is issued.

Risk and Exploitability
