{"id":"CVE-2019-12889","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2019-12889","generatedAt":"2026-10-29T00:41:48.862Z","title":"An unauthenticated privilege escalation exists in SailPoint Desktop Password Reset 7.2.","description":"An unauthenticated privilege escalation exists in SailPoint Desktop Password Reset 7.2. A user with local access to only the Windows logon screen can escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\\System. An attacker would need local access to the machine for a successful exploit. The attacker must disconnect the computer from the local network / WAN and connect it to an internet facing access point / network. At that point, the attacker can execute the password-reset functionality, which will expose a web browser. Browsing to a site that calls local Windows system functions (e.g., file upload) will expose the local file system. From there an attacker can launch a privileged command shell.","published":"2019-08-20T12:15:11.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:15:40.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":7,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-269"],"affected":["sailpoint/desktop password reset"],"epss":{"score":0.00618,"percentile":0.49394,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.62%).
