Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The affected product creates a directory with insecure default permissions during administrative installation. This allows a low-privileged local attacker to modify a temporary file defining the components to be installed, enabling local privilege escalation by forcing the deployment of arbitrary components.
