A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the ClearPass client software.

MEDIUM 6.7EPSS 0.08%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the ClearPass client software. Successful exploitation could allow a low-privileged local user to execute commands with elevated privileges on the affected system, if certain conditions outside of the attacker's control are met.
